What is the Strand House Mule?
The Strand House Moscow Mule is a modern twist on the timeless classic. It enhances the traditional blend of vodka, ginger beer, and lime with a splash of apple bitters, then finishes it with a crisp apple garnish. The result is a refreshing cocktail that balances bright citrus, warming spice, and a hint of orchard sweetness for a clean, contemporary take on a favorite.
