Originally created in the 1940s the Moscow Mule is a delectable mix of vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. Named in homage to vodka’s Russian roots, this frozen riff sticks closely to tradition and the recipe remains almost entirely unchanged.  The sole addition is ice, which transforms the Moscow Mule from a classic cocktail to a very cold classic cocktail.

Special thanks to our friends at West Elm for outfitting our frozen drinks photoshoot.
