The Copper Can Moscow Mule

The Copper Can Moscow Mule is a ready-to-drink cocktail from Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, is bottled at 10% alcohol by volume (ABV). Born in the summer of 2016, this canned rendition of the original Moscow Mule recipe brings together three core components: a 6-times distilled, corn-based craft vodka, house-made ginger beer, and fresh lime juice. It is gluten-free, with the vodka base made from corn and distilled 6 times for a clean, smooth foundation.

What distinguishes The Copper Can Moscow Mule from other ready-to-drink options in its category is the use of house-made ginger beer and fresh lime juice rather than artificial flavoring substitutes. The 6-times distillation process applied to the corn-based vodka ensures a neutral and refined spirit base that allows the ginger and lime to lead the flavor profile as they would in a freshly made cocktail. At 10 percent alcohol by volume, the drink carries more strength than many canned cocktail alternatives while still delivering the refreshing, spice-forward character the Moscow Mule is known for.

The Copper Can Moscow Mule is well-suited for outdoor gatherings, warm-weather entertaining, tailgates, and occasions where a classic cocktail experience is desired without mixing. Its ginger and lime-forward profile pairs naturally with grilled seafood, spicy dishes, light appetizers, and Asian-inspired cuisine, where the brightness of lime and the warmth of ginger complement the food. Its gluten-free makeup also makes it accessible to a wide range of guests.
