Mix together one part fate and two parts failing businesses and you’ve got the history of the beloved Moscow Mule, which was made in America back in the 1940s. A Russian immigrant traveling to the states with an overabundance of — you guessed it — copper mugs, stopped into a bar in LA and met none other than the former owner of (the then failing) Smirnoff vodka company. The two needed to move their products fast and came up with what we know and love today as the Moscow Mule, served up in its signature copper mug (learn more here). Today, the Moscow Mule is one of the most popular cocktails in the country with hundreds of variations appearing on drink menus across the states, including right here in the Mile Square. We’ve rounded up not only the top places around town for killer Mules but also three DIY pitcher Mule recipes to enjoy with fresh summer ingredients.
