Jersey Joe and his friends gather at a local restaurant to sample a Moscow Mule. How this adult beverage became popular on the East Coast, before traveling to the West Coast, and back!

THE 411

Name: Moscow Mule

What: alcoholic adult beverage

Ingredients: ginger beer, vodka, lime juice

Traditionally served in: copper cup

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

It’s another one of those drinks that was popular in the past and is making a comeback. Craft cocktails are now all the rage, so more drinks like this will be added to bar menus. It’s interesting how this became a fad in New York City, then went west, only to be mostly forgotten in the East.

I still think it would be better frozen, though…

And remember… drink responsibility! Sorry kids, 21 and over – please!
