The Moscow Mule was one of the first vodka cocktails popular in the U.S.. Created in 1941 at the Chatham Hotel in Manhattan, the drink was conceived by three friends enjoying a drink at the hotel bar. The thought was to combine 2 ounces of Smirnoff vodka with Cock ‘n’ Bull ginger beer, that had just arrived from California with some lemon juice.
The mule is almost always served in a copper mug. This tradition was popularized by John Martin who was traveling around the country selling Smirnoff vodka. Martin would ask bartenders to pose with a special copper mug and a bottle of Smirnoff. He would take two photos; one was for proof of John visiting the bar and to show the popularity of the vodka to others, the second picture was to leave at the bar.
