Every once in a while there is a cocktail that rises to the top above all other cocktails. This year that cocktail is the Moscow Mule. It’s traditionally thought of as a summer drink. But that hasn’t stopped anyone from drinking this year round. The drink has been at the top of the cocktail list all of 2014. And doesn’t appear to be slowing down soon. In fact, we’re seeing all kinds of variations. So 2015 is sure to be an exciting year for this super tasty cocktail.
