💡Pro Tips
- Bundaberg Ginger Beer is the gold standard - its bold ginger flavor makes the best Moscow Mules
- Use fresh lime juice, not bottled - the brightness is essential
- Copper mugs aren't just traditional, they keep the drink colder longer
- Don't over-stir - you want to preserve the ginger beer's carbonation
- Chill your copper mugs in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for extra frostiness
- A sprig of fresh mint makes an excellent additional garnish
