The Moscow Mule Punch scales John G. Martin and Jack Morgan's 1941 Hollywood creation — the copper-mug vodka-ginger-beer combination credited with introducing vodka to American mainstream culture — into a large-format punch bowl service for parties and gatherings. The original Moscow Mule's three-element formula — vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime — translates naturally to punch because the ginger beer's carbonation can be maintained by adding it to the punch bowl last, and the lime juice provides refreshing acidity that prevents the punch from becoming cloying at large volumes. Moscow Mule copper mug culture, which made the specific vessel one of the most distinctive cocktail presentation choices of the 2000s and 2010s, can be honored by serving guests the punch in individual copper mugs.
