The Mule cocktail is a classic cocktail that originated in the United States in the 1940s. It is a mix of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice served over ice in a copper mug. The origin of the drink is often attributed to John Martin, the owner of Smirnoff Vodka, who was looking for a way to promote his product in the United States. He teamed up with Jack Morgan, the owner of the Cock ‘n’ Bull tavern in Hollywood, to create the Mule cocktail. The drink became popular due to its combination of sweet and spicy flavours and its signature copper mug, which kept the drink cold.
Over time, the Mule has evolved to include variations with different non-alcoholic ingredients, but the classic combination of ginger beer, lime juice, and a non-alcoholic spirit substitute remains a staple. Today, alcohol-free Mules are a widely popular drink that can be found in bars and restaurants catering to those who prefer a non-alcoholic lifestyle.
