History of the Moscow mule
According to the New York Times and other accounts, the Moscow mule started in 1941, when two entrepreneurs joined forces to sell their respective wares. John Martin wanted to convince Americans to drink his Smirnoff vodka, while Jack Morgan was trying to persuade visitors to his Cock ‘n’ Bull pub to drink the ginger beer he made. Together, they launched the drink — or at least that’s one version of the story.
Regardless, Moscow mules have become almost as popular as the Bloody Mary and mojito, according to the Times article.
The pomegranate Moscow mule recipe came from my own cookbook, “Cocktails with Mom.” Here are some more of my favorite drinks:
