Moscow Mule cocktail
From Motley Bytes Wiki
Moscow Mule
- The Moscow Mule is a mid-century classic that was born in 1941. As the legend goes, it was concocted by two men. John Martin needed to sell Smirnoff vodka. Another man, bar owner Jack Morgan, wanted to deplete the stash of ginger beer taking up space at his Cock ‘n’ Bull pub. They decided to combine the two ingredients with a little lime, and the rest is history.
- There is a conflicting origin story that says that a bartender by the name of Wes Price was the true originator of the cocktail’s recipe.
- The origin of the Moscow Mule mug is slightly less clear, though evidence points to the connection originating with a Russian woman named Sophie Berezinski, who's father owned copper factory called Moscow Copper Co. Allegedly, poor sales in their home country left the younger Berezinski to travel to the U.S. to find new buyers.
