What Is a Moscow Mule?
Maybe it’s all this talk of Russia lately, but it seems like suddenly, Moscow mules went from being a dated cocktail to being on everyone’s happy hour menu. So, we got curious. What’s the deal with the recent popularity of this old-fashioned libation?
First, let’s lay to rest the Russian conspiracy, at least on cocktails, as this one was created in New York in the 1940s unless you believe the dispute that it started in LA with actors. Sketchy origins aside, this cocktail started in the ’40s with a little vodka and some ginger beer.
So, what’s with the comeback?
Moscow mules popped back up on the craft cocktail scene since the cocktail renaissance started. Now that speakeasies and barkeeps with prohibition-style skinny suspenders and bow ties are common in every small, tiny crossroad town, it’s fair to say that a lot of old-school cocktails have resurfaced.
And as far as a cocktail, it’s a fine introductory drink, like a stepping stone into craft cocktails. And why not? It’s an easy concoction, light to sip, and only requires a few ingredients. In a world where every town gets to have its own brewery, we say let the rise of the cocktail revolution keep growing.
