a little bit about the recipe
Ginger beer makes an appearance in this pumpkin-infused twist on the classic Moscow Mule, which is itself a variation of a Vodka Buck (spirit + citrus + ginger ale). Traditionally, mules are served in a copper mug to maintain the chill, but you can also use a highball or collins glass.
