My girlfriends and I are constantly trying to reinvent all the classic cocktails out there (with a few new twists thrown in, of course). This time around it’s the Moscow Mule. Just three simple ingredients makes this cocktail the perfect summer beverage.

what do you need for a moscow mule

Fill up a couple of short cocktail cups with lots of ice. You can use crushed or cubed. Add a bit of ginger beer to each cup, about half way up. Then add the vodka and fresh squeeze of lime juice. Give it a stir.

Before you start drinking, don’t forget the garnish! Tip: You can also add a few mint leaves to the glasses, if you’d like. It’ll add a nice element of flavor to the Moscow Mule!

Ginger beer is a non-alcoholic beverage which you can find in most super markets these days. It gives the Moscow mules a nice kick, but if you can’t seem to find it anywhere, try adding ginger-ale instead. It won’t be as spicy, but it’ll get the job done. Go out and enjoy this summer cocktail.
