History
This drink is regarded as kicking off a vodka craze in the United States during the 1950s. The Moscow Mule was invented by John G. Martin of Heublein Inc., an East Coast spirits and food distributor which had bought the rights to Smirnoff vodka. Whilst at the Cock n' Bull restaurant in Sunset Strip, Hollywood, Heublein came across the idea to add vodka to the proprietor's struggling ginger-beer franchise.
