Been to Moscow? Me neither, but you can come close with a delicious Moscow Mule cocktail. Apparently the drink dates back to early Hollywood days when Smirnoff wanted to promote their vodka to US consumers so they marketed the Moscow Mule as a cocktail. And it stuck! Plus they’re served in dope copper mugs, so you can look fresh at the bar.

You’ll need:
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce lime juice
Ginger beer
Lime wedge for garnish

It’s simple to make:

1. Pour the vodka and lime juice into a highball glass (or fancy copper mug if you happen to have one) with ice cubes.
2. Top off with the ginger beer.
3. Garnish with the lime wedge.
