MOSCOW MULE

Moscow Mule image

Wickman House, a fine-dining destination at the tip of Wisconsin's Door County peninsula, serves as many Moscow Mules today as it does the state's beloved brandy old-fashioneds. The Wickman recipe is the classic formula: vodka and lime juice topped with ginger beer and served over ice in a copper mug.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 mules

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 heaping tablespoon dried cranberries, for garnish
2 ounces simple syrup, plus more for soaking the cranberries
6 ounces vodka
4 ounces orange juice
4 ounces unfiltered cranberry juice
4 ounces ginger beer

Steps:

Put the dried cranberries in a small bowl and add enough simple syrup to cover. Let soak until slightly softened, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill 4 copper mule mugs in the freezer.
For each drink, combine 1 1/2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce each orange juice and cranberry juice and 1/2 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with large ice cubes and shake vigorously. Add 1 ounce ginger beer, seal the shaker again and gently twist the shaker back and forth once (this will combine the drink without making the ginger beer go flat). Strain into a chilled copper mule mug and fill with fresh ice. Garnish with a few of the soaked cranberries.
