Directions Squeeze lime juice into a Moscow Mule mug (or a Collins glass) and drop in the spent shell. Add 2 or 3 ice cubes, then pour in the vodka and fill with cold ginger beer (not ginger ale, although what the hell). Serve with a stirring rod. Ugh, Russia. Between rampant election meddling, non-exonerating special council reports, and buddy-buddy meetings between should-be rival presidents, we haven't heard this much about Russia since the heat of the Cold War. It's enough to need a drink, one that tastes damn good and comes ice cold, like it was leeched from a Siberian glacier. A Moscow Mule hits the spot, in terms of both flavor and dark humor. For all the pageantry surrounding the Moscow Mule cocktail—the copper mug, the stirring rod—it's about as simple as a cocktail can be: booze, mixer, and citrus garnish. And it doesn't taste like anything fancy, either. It's snappy ginger and sour lime through and through. It works for toasting our Russian puppet government or for simply sipping on a spring day from a cool cup while you think about anything but politics. #mixmasters4u #drinkstagram #vodkamartini #imbibegram #cocktails #mixology #mixologist #vodkalover #imbibe #longdrink #prettydrink #drinkup #mixologist #instagood #homebartender #instapic #drinks #drink #vodkatasting #mixologist #vodkatonic #vodkatime #instapic #drinkstagram #crystalheadvodka #yummy #thirstyday #summer https://www.instagram.com/p/CCF5e4hF0PF/?igshid=xqhrofp7tif5
