Moscow Mule?

[Daddy-O]

Have you ever done the Moscow Mule thing? I have a pally that drinks them down like Cocacola. For those that don't know, it is a drink made of Vodka, lime juice, ginger beer, and a lime wedge. It is served in a copper mug. I've found it OK, particularly in the summer months, but I wouldn't consider it a primary drink.

Thanks for sharing.

Why is it called that way it is? Does it come from Russia? I know, they are heavy drinkers

I don't know why it is called that, beyond Vodka being Russia's national drink. On the topic, Modern Drunkard magazine has an interesting, and humorous, article: Yes, Olga, There Is a Mr. Smirnoff

I've heard of those but never had one. It does sound interesting but why the copper mug? Does it give it extra taste?
