Bartender's Tip
The copper mug isn't decoration — it takes the chill of the crushed ice instantly and keeps the drink colder than glass through the whole pour.
A Little History
The Moscow Mule was invented in 1941 to move unsellable vodka and unsellable ginger beer at once. Swap in amaro and the formula finally has something to say: ginger's heat and amaro's root bitterness are the same conversation in two accents.
