Tips
- Chill Your Mug: For the ultimate Moscow Mule experience, pre-chill your copper mug or glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before preparing the drink.
- Fresh is Best: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more vibrant flavor profile.
- Ginger Beer Selection: Choose a high-quality, gluten-free ginger beer with robust ginger flavor to elevate your cocktail's taste.
- Ice Matters: Use large, clear ice cubes that melt slower and keep your drink colder without diluting it too quickly.
- Garnish Game: Don't skip the fresh mint and lime wedge - they're not just decorative but add incredible aromatic complexity to your drink.Pro tip: For an extra flavor twist, lightly muddle the mint in the bottom of the mug before adding ice for a more intense herbal note!
