詳情
是以伏特加為基酒中最負盛名的經典雞尾酒。它清新爽口,背後還藏著一段有趣的故事。
二十世紀,美國伏特加酒廠老闆馬丁和他朋友薑汁啤酒廠的摩根一起設計了“莫斯科騾子”
當初用意單純,是想藉此“騾子”打開各自的酒品市場。
馬丁是個很有想法的人,他先來到一家有名的酒吧,手持“莫斯科騾子”雞尾酒與調酒師拍照留影。
隨後又拿著這張照片來到另外一家酒吧,一家接著一家,試圖造成“莫斯科騾子”雞尾酒盛行的聲勢。
結果,這種伏特加加薑汁啤酒的雞尾酒還真的大獲成功。儘管名字有些怪異,但並不影響如今它那堅如磐石的地位和聲望。
“mule” 是騾子的意思,因為伏特加是一種勁道很強的烈酒
喝了它就像被騾子的後蹄踢了一下那麼厲害,因此得名莫斯科騾子(Moscow Mule)
材料:伏特加60ml,薑汁啤酒(沒有可用薑汁汽水或薑母調和汽水),檸檬汁
做法:先將冰塊放進指定杯中,將伏特加與檸檬汁倒人杯中,然後加滿薑汁啤酒(汽水)
有些調酒師最後會切兩片黃瓜或薑片或檸檬角,斜切成橢圓型,掛在杯上好像驢子的耳朵作裝飾。
Another history
The history of the Moscow Mule goes back to 1941 and was invented by John G. Martin of Heublein, Inc., of East Coast spirits, and Jack Morgan, owner of the Cock 'n' Bull Tavern, a bar on the Sunset strip in Los Angeles. As the story goes, John had recently acquired the right to sell Smirnoff vodka in the US and Jack had a surplus of ginger beer at his establishment. Voila, they now have a new drink. Eventually John Martin used the Moscow Mule to help promote vodka to bars across the US and this helped fuel the mainstream acceptance of vodka as the preferred white spirit, replacing gin.
