The Moscow Mule took off in the mid-20th century as a simple, punchy highball—ginger heat, bright lime, and spirit over ice in a cold copper mug. However it got its name, it stuck because it drinks crisp, spicy, and refreshing without being complicated.
VINKA starts with real ingredients and uses a proprietary extraction method to capture the ginger, lime, and spice profile in a concentrated mixer. Pair it with a simple, easy-to-make base of neutral spirit and sugar, add ice, shake, then top with soda water, and you’re pouring a Moscow Mule-style cocktail in minutes—no ginger beer to stock, no squeezing limes to order, no extra bottles.
In the glass, it shows ginger and lime on the nose, with a bright citrus–ginger snap up front, rounded sweetness through the middle, and a clean, refreshing finish. Served long over ice with soda water, it has enough body and spice to feel like a proper Mule while still drinking crisp and highly sessionable. Prepared as directed and topped with soda water, each sachet mix yields about 16–17 fl oz total, depending on how much ice melts.
-

Ginger spice, fresh lime, balanced sweetness, and a clean, refreshing finish.
What You’ll Need
For Standard Preparation: 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, granulated sugar, soda water, ice, shaker (and a copper mug or tall glass).
For Slushy Preparation: 5x VINKA Moscow Mule Cocktail Mixer sachets, a 2L-capacity slushy machine, 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, cold water, granulated sugar.
Directions (per 1 sachet) — Soda-Diluted
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.
-
In a shaker or bottle, add 5 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit.
-
Add 4 Tbsp granulated sugar. Shake or stir without ice to dissolve. (Sweetness: add a little more or a little less sugar to suit your taste.)
-
Add the entire Moscow Mule sachet and about 1 cup of ice (a generous handful). Shake 10–15 seconds.
-
Pour into a copper mug or tall glass over fresh ice, then top with about 10 fl oz cold soda water (about 1¼ cups) and gently stir.
Note: Ice melt and soda water will dilute the drink a bit—that’s normal and intended for a long, refreshing Mule-style serve.
Slushy Directions (2L batch)
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.
-
Add 14 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit to the slushy machine.
-
Add all 5 VINKA Moscow Mule Cocktail Mixer sachets.
-
Add about 45 fl oz cold water.
-
Add 1½ cups granulated sugar (24 Tbsp). Mix/recirculate to dissolve.
-
Top with cold water to the 2L / MAX fill line, then run the machine until slushy and serve.
Note: Frozen-drink texture can vary by machine and settings. If it freezes too firm, let it run a bit longer to soften; if it’s too loose, keep chilling until it tightens up.
Serve Suggestion
Serve in a copper mug packed with ice; garnish with a lime wedge and, if desired, a sprig of mint or a slice of fresh or candied ginger.
