The Moscow Mule is arguably the ultimate workhorse cocktail. Equally at home in high-class bars as well as neighborhood dives, it’s a fantastic candidate for some high-brow hacks, should you be so inclined.

Listen on (or read below) to learn Evan's Moscow Mule recipe — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe!
