Classic Moscow Mule with a twist

Start by generously filling your copper mug with ice, crafting the perfect chill for your drink. Next, measure 2 oz of vodka, selecting a brand that resonates with your taste. This vodka shapes the foundational kick of a Moscow Mule. Now, introduce 4 oz of ginger beer, infusing spiciness and effervescence. The ginger's warmth complements the ice's coolness and lime's tang, yielding an invigorating profile. For an enticing twist, consider adding a luscious strawberry puree or sliced strawberries to infuse a refreshing sweetness.
