FAQs

What would a copper mug do for a Moscow mule?

copper mugs are great insulators which means it helps to keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot so when making this lemon Moscow mule, if you want to enjoy a nice cold drink on a hot day, use the chilled copper mug. By using a cold drink in a cold cup you may even omit the need for ice!

What can I use instead of ginger beer?

If you want a good substitute, use ginger ale. You’ll still get a ginger flavor but without the strong overwhelming taste of ginger beer.

Can I make a Moscow mule with lemon in advance?

Yes, you can prepare this drink and keep it in a pitcher in the fridge for up to 2 or 3 days. Just stir again before serving again.
