The Moscow Moose is super simple, but super delicious. No frou frou here – in fact, the entire drink is pure alcohol. You can always serve it over the rocks if that’s a bit strong for you (or for the occasion).
I tend to associate this one with winter time and frosty weather because of the peppermint. And because when I think of Moscow, I think of snow. But this drink is a refreshing treat anytime you want a drink that packs a punch but has a little flavor.
Recipe
- 2 ounces peppermint schnapps
- 1.25 ounces vodka
Pour the two ingredients into an old-fashioned glass. No garnish – this drink is hardcore, thank you.

You’ve got this wrong. This is a moscow mule. The moscow moose is a whiskey drink with amaretto, lemon, and ginger beer. The WSJ has a recipe here: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303433304579304812612986496

No, there are a number of variations using this name, as there are with loads of cocktails. See here for a completely different one again: https://foursquare.com/v/fords-fish-shack-south-riding/50fe96d07ab4d7088a4fd777/menu
