The Moscow Mule is one of the most iconic cocktails ever created. You don’t have to be a fan of FX’s The Americans or a retired KGB agent to enjoy this classic cocktail. The perfect mix of sweetness and heat make for one of the most refreshing, enjoyable cocktails ever conceived, and its popularity has never seemed to wane completely since its inception in the 1940s. The drink was extremely popular in the 1950s and 60s but fell off a little bit until the recent classic cocktail revival of the last decade.
