The new star of the aperitif
Once upon a time ... a cult long drink. Because far from being a new kid, the Moscow Mule , a cult drink in New York or Chicago cocktail bars for half a century, was born in the 1940s in the United States from the meeting between a vodka distiller and a producer of ginger beer .

Fever-Tree: the secret ingredient of a good Moscow Mule
How to cook up a Moscow Mule worthy of the best luxury bars ? We keep the boot secret of the most prominent mixologists and the great chefs who swear by Fever-Tree to release this magic potion!
In vogue and against the tide of ugly chemical and sugar-filled “ mixers ”, ginger beer and ginger ale are making a comeback. Provided of course to use Fever-Tree , this label particularly cherished by foodies.
Considered the Rolls-Royce of its kind, the Fever-Tree ginger range is displayed as a signature sharp product with perfect sourcing, made from essential oils of 3 varieties: fresh ginger from Côte d'Ivoire , ginger camphor from Nigeria and chocolate ginger from Cochin in India.

Alternatives with or without alcohol
Whether you are in rehab, detox or simply pregnant mode… Nothing is simpler.
