History of the Moscow Mule
The Moscow Mule cocktail (Moscow mule, Moscow donkey), although it has a Russian name, was born, like most cocktails, in the USA.
In the late 30s, after the repeal of Prohibition, businessman John Martin tried to promote Smirnov vodka on the American market, but suffered a crushing failure.
At the same time, another entrepreneur, Jack Morgan, almost went bankrupt due to the lack of demand for ginger beer, which the Americans did not like because of its small strength.
Having met quite by chance in a bar, young entrepreneurs came up with an original way out – they created a cocktail in which vodka and beer were mixed in a ratio of three to one and ordered several laudatory articles in the newspapers.
The effect turned out exactly as expected: people asked about a cocktail in every bar, and drinking establishments had to stock up on ginger beer and vodka.
The name of the cocktail was due to the origin of vodka and the stubbornness of its creators.
Over time, the recipe for the Moscow Mule has undergone only minor changes – they began to add lime juice to it, which made the bitter taste of the cocktail a little softer.
Cocktail variations Moscow Mule
Ruff – a mixture of four parts of ordinary beer and one part of vodka.
Red eye – tomato juice and ginger beer.
Dark and stormy – rum and ginger beer.
