History & Origin

The Viking Mule, also known as the Nordic Mule, transforms the classic Moscow Mule by substituting vodka with aquavit, the traditional Scandinavian spirit. This variation highlights the caraway and botanical notes that define aquavit, creating a more complex and aromatic version of the beloved ginger beer cocktail. The drink has gained popularity as aquavit becomes more available internationally.
