Cafe des Amis is located in the Cow Hollow Neighborhood of San Francisco. On a beautiful sunny afternoon, I was lucky to grab a seat outside along the sidewalk. The refreshing Moscow Mule is a simple cocktail of Russian Standard vodka, Fever Tree Ginger Beer and lime. I loved the copper mug that the Moscow Mule was served in!
I like when you learn something new from a cocktail menu, here's the description from the menu: "This is one of four promotional cocktails (the others were the
Screwdriver, the Bloody Mary, and the Vodkatini—a name that never stuck)
that were popularized by John Martin and Rudolf Kunett of Smirnoff when
they were introducing vodka to the post World War II United States. As
part of the promotion the pub style Cock and Bull on Sunset Boulevard in
Hollywood, which was a huge movie-star hangout at the time, offered a
customized mug to every Hollywood star who ordered the Moscow Mule. All
of the copper mugs were kept on a shelf, and left waiting for the stars
next visit."
