Ingredients

2 oz vodka
1 oz fresh lime juice
4 oz ginger beer
Garnish with lime wedges

Instructions

Juice the lime and cut extra for garnish.
Fill a Moscow mule mug or glass with ice then add the lime juice, vodka and ginger beer.
Stir and top with lime wedges.

Notes

Always use fresh lime juice as your cocktail won't taste nice at all with the bottled stuff.
Good quality vodka and ginger beer make a big difference, I recommend using Fever Tree ginger beer for best flavor.
The Moscow Mule mugs are super easy to find online and can be fairly inexpensive especially if you keep an eye out for sales. Don't worry if you don't have them though, this cocktail will taste just as good in a glass.
For an extra firey ginger kick, you can muddle in some fresh ginger too. To Muddle - cut 3 thumb-sized slices of ginger (peeled) and bash or bruise them in your mug or cocktail shaker to release the juices before adding your ice and other ingredients.
Just like the fresh ginger, you can muddle in different fruits and herbs such as berries, apples, watermelon, and mint. It's a great way to experiment with seasonal flavors.
Candied ginger is easy to find in supermarkets and makes a fun garnish with the fresh limes.
