What is the bartender tip for a Moscow Mule?

The 1941 Moscow Mule is vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer — no shaking. The copper mug holds the cold; without one, use a highball glass with ice to the brim. Ginger beer is not ginger ale: the ginger bite is the drink, so pick a brand you like — the volume depends on the size of your mug. The 10 ml of lime balances the sweetness of the ginger beer; if yours is very dry, go up to 15 ml. Stir just enough to mix; too much kills the fizz.
