Moscow mule is vodka based drink made with vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. For this pomegranate Moscow mule, pomegranate juice, ginger beer, vodka and lime juice. Nice spicy kick from the ginger beer goes well pomegranate juice and Vodka.
I think pomegranate, cranberry is best to make winter Moscow mule as they pair perfect with ginger beer. The first known mention of the Moscow Mule is from the "Inside Hollywood" syndicated newspaper column, penned by Eith Gwynn, the date was the 27th of December 1942, and written like this:
"There is a new drink that is a craze in the movie colony now. It is called "Moscow Mule." Recipe: equal parts Vodka, lime juice and ginger beer!...
For me any fruit based drinks are most welcome than on the rocks. If you like ginger taste, then give it try. Life is for enjoyment is it.
