What is a Moscow Mule?
A Moscow Mule is a yummy cocktail made of ginger beer, vodka, lime juice and often garnished with fresh mint. It’s served in a signature copper mug that takes on the cool temperature of the drink.
It’s actually quite a straight forward process to make this cocktail low carb. Simply substitute traditional spicy ginger beer for this yummy alternative from Zevia. This Zevia Ginger Beer can be found at most health food stores.
