Moscow Mule.

The copper-mug classic

A Moscow Mule is 50 ml of Stolichnaya vodka, 120 ml of ginger beer and 15 ml of fresh lime juice, built over ice in a copper mug and garnished with a lime wedge. It takes about three minutes to make and needs no shaker — the spicy ginger and sharp lime carry the clean grain character of the vodka.
