The Moscow Mule made a wrong turn somewhere in Wyoming and ended up in Montana — and it's better for it. Moonshine brings a clean corn sweetness that vodka simply can't match, and the ginger bite cuts right through. Sharp, cold, and completely satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 oz moonshine
- 4 oz ginger beer (not ginger ale)
- ½ oz fresh lime juice
- Ice
- Lime wedge and fresh mint to garnish
How to Make It
1
Fill a mason jar or copper mug with ice to the top.
2
Pour 2 oz moonshine over the ice.
3
Add lime juice, then slowly pour ginger beer over the top. Stir once.
4
Garnish with a lime wedge and fresh mint. Serve immediately.
Pro Tips
- Use ginger beer not ginger ale — brewed, spicy, not sweet.
- Squeeze fresh lime. Bottled juice kills the brightness.
- Pre-chill your mason jar 10 min in the freezer for a proper frost.
