Moscow Mule consists of vodka, ginger beer, lime juice and ice. The Moscow Mule is a favorite drink at bars all over the globe. However, it can be made at home easily.
While the history of Moscow Mule has been fascinating and has seen many variations over the years, there are some elements that have remained constant to make this drink a classic. While the origin of the Moscow Mule is still uncertain, experts believe it was created in Los Angeles' Cock 'n Bull bar in the 1940s. It is believed that Jack Morgan, the owner of the bar, had an excess of ginger beer in his cellar, and a friend John G. Martin, an executive at Heublein, a liquor distributor, had purchased the rights to Smirnoff vodka.
Both of them had difficulty selling their products. So they invented a way for people to use their products. It was the idea of combining Martin's vodka with Morgan's ginger beer that would ultimately become known as the Moscow Mule.
The original recipe only contained vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. It has since been expanded to include additional ingredients and flavors. It is the perfect drink for a warm summer day.

I would recommend an Old Fashioned. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or bitters.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.

How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini can be served with two olives. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce vodka. Stir vigorously until combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
