Moscow Mule consists of vodka, ginger beer, lime juice and ice. The Moscow Mule is a favorite drink at bars all over the globe. However, it can be made at home easily.
While the history of Moscow Mule has been fascinating and has seen many variations over the years, there are some elements that have remained constant to make this drink a classic. Experts disagree on the origins of the mule, but most believe it was invented at the Cock'n' Bull bar in Los Angeles in 1940. Jack Morgan, bar owner, is believed to have had too much ginger beer and John G. Martin his friend, an executive at Heublein (a distributor of liquor) had purchased the rights.
Both of these men had trouble selling their products, so they came up with a way to use them. The Moscow Mule was born of Martin's vodka being combined with Morgan’s ginger beers.
The original recipe consisted of just vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. However, it has been modified to include other flavors and ingredients. It is the perfect drink for a warm summer day.

It is important to maintain a balanced mule. A good Moscow mule should be light and refreshing, but not too sweet.

How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
