does anyone remember a drink called moscow mule..it had ginger beer and served in a copper mug?

NO

A Moscow Mule is a cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer, lime, and garnish of cucumber peel. The Moscow Mule kicked off the vodka craze in the United States during the 1950s. It was invented by John G. Martin of Heublein, Inc., an East Coast spirits and food distributor that bought the rights to Smirnoff vodka, and Jack Morgan, proprietor of the Cock ‘N’ Bull, a bar on Los Angeles’ Sunset Boulevard. Movie stars, comedians, mobsters, and even Jim Morrison went there. Martin had the idea to mix vodka with Morgan’s equally struggling ginger beer franchise. Add to that a unique, and now hard to find, copper mug, and they had the recipe to a drink that fast became popular.

1 1/2 ounces vodka

1/2 lime, juice of

6 ounces nonalcoholic ginger beer

The Moscow Mule kicked off the "white whiskey" (i.e., vodka) craze back in the 1950s, concocted at the Cock 'n Bull Pub in Hollywood by people with lots of poorly-moving vodka, homemade ginger beer and a truckload of copper cups to move. It's a perfect example of making lemonade from life's lemons (or limes, in this case).

Now "traditionally" served in the specially made copper cups (which are really cool), it's icyyummyspicy and very refreshing. Spectacular in summer, I find it just as tasty in January. Better yet, I'm able to enjoy them even more thanks to our friends Robb and Jaason, who gave us a wonderful set of copper Moscow Mule mugs as a housewarming gift! (If you can't find the copper mugs, a highball glass will certainly do.)

Don't use plain old ginger ale for this recipe; that makes for a wimpy mule. Use real ginger beer, made with actual ginger juice or extract -- the pepperier the better!

Moscow Mule

2 ounces vodka

1 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice (and NEVER Rose's!)

4 ounces good, spicy ginger ale (like Blenheim's) or ginger beer

In an 8-ounce copper mug, add ice and the ingredients in the

specified order. Stir and garnish with a lime wedge.

Yep, it's sometimes known as Red Square too. It's ginger beer and vodka. I think Vodka Redbull is more popular these days.
