The Moscow Mule Cocktail is a classic, and it's a classic for a reason - it's easy, delicious, and has very few ingredients. And as much as I love the classic version, I do love to switch things up too. The French Mule Cocktail has the same ingredients as it's Russian cousin (are Moscow Mules even from Russia?!), with the addition of the classic French aperitif - Cointreau.
