History & Origin

The Moscow Mule was invented in the 1940s, a collaboration between a vodka distributor and a ginger beer maker looking to boost their sales. Its iconic copper mug quickly became synonymous with the drink. The Moscow Mango Mule is a modern evolution, inspired by the popularity of tropical flavors and the global love for mango. Bartenders in beach destinations started adding mango puree for an exotic twist, creating a fan favorite that brings a taste of the tropics to any bar.
