While a Moscow Mule in a copper mug is a bar menu standard, this version adds an extra punch of gingery spice, perfect for an October evening.
"The best Moscow mule I ever had was in Madrid. It’s such a simple cocktail, so I ordered something else, but everyone else ordered the mule. When the drinks came, I tried a sip and regretted my order immediately," explains Sisco Larson of Joe's Wines and Liquors. "The bartender used a house-made ginger syrup that gave it all the spice you would want while also adding true digestive qualities. That was a game-changing experience with a super simple cocktail."
