Top tips for making a Moscow mule
We love Fever Tree Ginger Beer (opens in new tab) or Double Dutch (opens in new tab) as they are both very fiery. Other brands can be a little sweet but that might suit your taste preferences.
Make sure your glass is filled with ice in order for it to stay super chilled. Contrary to popular belief, the more ice in your glass the slower it melts and therefore the less diluted your cocktail becomes. You might find it useful to serve with a straw to avoid ice falling out as you sip.
