How much Moscow Mule for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Moscow Mule measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Moscow Mule per person scales cleanly: dose × number of drinks. Base recipe (45 ml Vodka · 15 ml Lime juice · 120 ml Ginger beer) × 6 = 270 ml vodka + 90 ml lime + 720 ml ginger beer plus ice per glass. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.

How it works
| Ingredient | Per glass | For 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Vodka | 45 ml | 270 ml |
| Lime juice | 15 ml | 90 ml |
| Ginger beer | 120 ml | 720 ml |
| Lime wedge | 1 wedge | 6 wedges |
Spicy ginger-forward highball: build over ice in a copper mug or highball, add vodka and lime, top with ginger beer, garnish with lime wedge. Batch vodka + lime in a jug; ginger beer per glass at pour so fizz stays sharp.
Mule kit: moscow mule copper mugs, cocktail jigger, highball glasses set, and a cocktail shaker set as backup. Buy vodka and ginger beer locally — we do not affiliate spirits.
The copper mug is not decoration: it conducts, so the drink stays cold longer than in glass. The catch is that a mug without a handle freezes your hand and warms the drink from the outside. Ginger beer, not ginger ale — the second is sweet and flat by comparison.
