and bitters.

Moscow Mule has captured hearts of many Russians, but was in fact invented in Manhattan by John G. Martin, Jack Morgan, and Rudolph Kunett. In 1941, the three friends were in the Chatham bar, wondering what would happen if a two-ounce shot of Martin and Kunett vodka were joined with Morgan's ginger beer and a squeeze of lemon juice. Surprisingly the legend was born and christened the Moscow Mule. The

cocktail became most popular in Los Angeles, although it has been regaining its glory during this century on the West Coast. Snob Alert: If the bar offering the Moscow Mule does not serve it in a copper mug, don’t order it.
