I just made 4 batches of this dough for a MYO wood fired pizza night, and I love how simple the recipe is. The dough seems to be rising nicely. More than anything I wanted to compliment your site. I appreciate the option to keep my screen up while cooking, as I use my IPad on a stand while doing it. Also the ease with which I can size up the recipes AND a “Jump to recipe” option at the top. 👏👏👏

If I may, how the Moscow Mule came to pass. Sophie Berezinski had immigrated to the US from Russia in hopes of selling her family-made copper mugs. Having little success at sales (but meeting her husband, Max) in New York, she headed west.

The stars aligned at the Cock ‘n Bull pub on Sunset Blvd, where bar owner Jack Morgan and Jack Martin were working out their business dilemmas. Jack Morgan was trying to sell his homemade ginger beer–a favorite in England but hard to brew demand for in the US. Jack Martin had purchased American rights to the Smirnoff distillery. Martin was having an equally difficult time selling vodka in a post-war America.

In walks Sophie with her handcrafted copper mugs, and the three get to the task of combining their products–and a squeeze of lime–to create one of the most iconic classic cocktails. Ginger beer, vodka, and lime juice: the Moscow Mule cocktail is perfect in its simplicity.

However, a Moscow Mule is not complete without an original Moscow Mule copper mug. The copper uplifts the carbonation and delights the senses with a cool touch to match the cocktail within.

We’re wondering about the phrase “a copper mug or glass.” We don’t think that a copper glass exists; thus, it should read “a copper mug or a glass.”

In reply to Arlina.

Hi! You could do it right before serving, otherwise the ginger beer will lose it’s fizz. The same proportions would work.

You could also premix the vodka and lime juice, then just add ginger beer to each mug.

Enjoy!

Can this be done in a pitcher for a party version? Would it have the same proportions?

In reply to Diana. Lemon juice would work, but orange juice is too watery and wouldn't be tangy enough for this recipe.

Can I use any other fruit juice beside lime. We have an orange tree outside, can we use orange juice, or any other fruit as far as that goes?
