<\/figure><\/div> Before you start mixing this cocktail, check out these key tips:<\/p>
- Use copper mugs<\/strong>: A copper mug doesn’t just create a visual impression for this cocktail. These mugs are great conductors and can keep your drink colder for longer, which is key to enjoying a Moscow Mule cocktail. If you don’t have any copper mugs, a highball glass works as well.<\/li>
- Only use cold ginger beer<\/strong>: Chill the ginger beer for at least 30 minutes before mixing the cocktail. Pop it in the freezer to cut down on the chilling time.<\/li>
- Food pairings<\/strong>: Moscow Mules pair well with Mexican Cuisine, fish and chips, and other types of finger food. It’s refreshing and can balance our fatty and heavier foods.<\/li>
- Serving sizes<\/strong>: This cocktail should be bubbly, so it’s best to avoid mixing bigger batches. If you’re having a party, mix individual drinks for your guests as needed, so everyone can enjoy the Moscow Mule as it’s supposed to be. For even better results, serve in an ice-cold copper mug.<\/li> <\/ul>
