Luxury Motor Yacht C STAR (ex Podium, Lime Light, Linda Lou) is a 60m (197ft) vessel, launched in 2006 by the famous German Lürssen shipyard with design by the respected Espen Oeino and Francois Zuretti. With last refit by Feadship in 2015, she is one of the elite yachts cruising our waters.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~ exceptional exterior & interior design ~ large deck spaces ~ amazing sun deck ~ Jacuzzi ~ number of dining areas both alfresco & inside ~ spacious deluxe accommodation ~ main deck master suite ~ air-conditioning ~ WiFi ~ state-of-the-art technology ~ cinema ~ water toys

Espen Oeino drew a new design for this exceptional yacht, working from the motor yacht Capri as a starting point but making her larger. Francois Zuretti created a classically inspired design for the yacht’s beautiful interior which was acknowledged with a Design Award for ‘Best Custom Motor Yacht: Interior at the ShowBoats International Awards 2007’. Superyacht C STAR was built by Lürssen to the finest quality symptomatic of the leading yacht builder’s pedigree.

Her main deck provides a large foyer hallway with an impressive staircase. This separates the owners’ area forward from the main salon part of the deck. The yacht’s main saloon aft features large windows which flush the room with natural light. The saloon reveals many curves and corners have been created around and even parts of the ceiling mirror the shape of major furniture items. An extravagant backlit bar in marble separates the salon on superyacht C STAR from the dining area and to ensure owners and guests are provided with the best possible service; the galley and pantry are located on the same deck on the port side adjacent to the dining area.

Moving forward there is a separate owners’ study which leads into the full-beam owners’ suite consisting of a sleeping and a lounging area. For late-night entertainment, a flat-screen is hidden behind a mirror and a sitting area with a second screen completes the master suite. There is also a separate his and hers bathroom and dressing room. Extensive use of marble provides a very luxurious and vibrant feeling in this special area.

Four equally king sized guest cabins are located on the lower deck and they are designed and decorated individually featuring extra-large vertical portholes. Plenty of space has been dedicated to these cabins to create comfortable areas for relaxation.

The upper salon offers the guests a bar as well as different seating areas. The aft part can be transformed into a dancing area. Like in the main salon, there is hardly a straight line anywhere and the aft sliding glass doors bulge outwards in a complete semicircle. The aft deck outside offers another seating and dining area. The huge main saloon used the large yacht’ full width (beam) and features spectacular large windows.

Forward on the upper deck, one finds the generous fully integrated bridge equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Nine large vertical windows arranged in a semi-circle form the shape of the wheelhouse and allow for optimal visibility. A large elevated sofa offers a viewing position for guests.

The inside area of the top deck has an observation lounge, a bar as well as a spacious internal dining area. Some of the windows on the side of this salon can be opened, as can the aft sliding doors which recede fully into the structure.

C STAR Specifications

Francois Zuretti has used rare veneers such as madrona on the main deck and lacewood on the upper deck. The woods are mainly high gloss but also matt varnished, accented with detailed wood inlays. To create warm and comfortable spaces, the design blends elegant classical details with contemporary elements.

The very large sundeck aft has multiple uses. It can be used for dining and entertaining, but can also handle a helicopter if needed. Forward of the observation lounge, the top deck provides for a wind-protected area with a Spa Pool and a sunbathing area. Yacht C STAR reaches a top speed of 15,5 knots and has a range of 5.000 nm and is powered by two Caterpillar engines of 1,440 kW each. She is an extremely quiet yacht when running underway because of advanced sound and vibration systems. A watertight door gives access to the huge tender garage which has large lift-up doors on either side. One tender on each side as well as a large selection of sports equipment is stowed here.

Yacht Accommodation

A king-sized full-beam owners’ suite is located on the main deck and this luxurious suite includes a dividable office and separates his and hers bathroom and dressing rooms. On the lower deck, C STAR yacht uniquely offers four equal and comparable king sized cabins, each boasting a private ensuite bathroom, a writing desk and entertainment facilities. On the upper deck, there is one additional cabin with an ensuite bathroom which is best suited to staff or children.

North Star: Inside the 63m custom superyacht built for first-time owners

Step on board North Star , the 63 metre custom superyacht designed by Espen Øino and Ozgun Yacht Design , complete with a crow's nest, cinema and golf practice machine

As the world turns, the North Star holds steady over the North Pole. A point of reference in the night sky, it is a literal and symbolic guiding light. A little closer to home, the yacht North Star is a refuge, a place for relaxation and family time. Like the celestial body, for her owners, she is a constant in an ever-changing world.

A custom-built 63-metre, she was designed by Espen Øino with hull and superstructure constructed in Turkey. For the owners, who have had smaller sport boats for day jaunts in the South of France, it is a grand entrance into the world of superyachts.

“The destination of Turkey was chosen because of their reputation for hulls,” says the captain. “The aim was to build their dream yacht.” There they amassed a team of industry professionals to turn their aspiration into reality, including Øino for the general arrangement and design, RWD for the initial interior concepts, Estel Design to complete the interior design and Burness Corlett Three Quays (BCTQ) for project management.

For their dream yacht, the owners dreamt big – it was to be spacious and bright, embrace the outdoors, offer flexible and versatile arrangements and provide plenty of comfortable communal spaces for the family of six to be together, as well as plenty of spots for them to hide away.

As he always does, Øino approached the project from the inside out, conceiving the general arrangement first. With the focus on creating airy and capacious interiors, he stretched the aft part of the upper deck to full beam in order to envelope a generous upper saloon that rivals the main saloon below. Both of these rooms are fringed with full-height windows and boast head heights of 2.2 metres.

They are also incredibly elegant. The director of Estel Design describes the style as “modern deco”, a blend of art deco’s classic elements with contemporary furniture and finishes. Pops of bright colour also modernise the deco- esque palette of silver, black and white. Glass and stainless- steel accents complement rich fabrics, such as bespoke leathers, shagreen and silver leaf, which were chosen to enhance the sense of space, says Estel Design’s director.

Over the formal dining table on the main deck, 16,000 crystal beads make up the chandelier by Ben Robinson of TwentyFourDesign. Each bead is custom tinted and affixed in strands of five to a stainless steel frame. Another of Robinson’s designs shimmers like crystal rainfall in the foyer: a chandelier that descends over two decks inside the winding staircase. Affixed to a skylight above, the piece has no internal structure; instead, 4,000 brilliant cut K9 crystals are strung together using 16,000 bespoke fittings making one homogenous structure. It was a true feat to fabricate and engineer it to withstand heavy seas.

“The owner was keen to source and utilise unusual fabrications so we were challenged to look beyond our normal suppliers and source new collaborations,” says Estel Design’s director. “To meet the owner’s brief we chose a unique array of finishes rarely seen on boats.” This included the woven metal fabric by Sophie Mallebranche that adorns a feature wall at the aft entrance to the main saloon. In addition, “a specialist resin surface, Killon, was sourced from America after the owners fell in love with it. This was used extensively in all the bathrooms, main deck saloon and master suite.”

Also in keeping with the owners’ wishes, the en suites and dayheads – one by each foyer – are ultra-modern, featuring white Thassos marble trimmed in stainless steel. The sinks in the master bath are particularly sculptural, cut from a single piece of marble, and the mirrors above these vanities can slide open to let in natural light through a hidden window.

Incorporating dual-use and transformational spaces was another priority. For instance, the main saloon can be used as a cinema, with a screen and projector concealed in the overhead. In the guest quarters on the lower deck, the wall between the two aft cabins can be moved to create a large VIP with sitting room and cabin.

While the interiors are striking, the outdoor areas demanded just as much attention – perhaps more. “There was a lot of emphasis on the sundeck space,” Øino recalls. “That was the pièce de résistance of the whole boat.” To make this area as large as possible, he extended the deck to full beam and created an indoor/outdoor space with a central interior section whose bi-folding doors open fully forward and aft. “It’s really nice up here when you are at anchor with a 10-knot breeze just trickling through,” says the captain. “It’s the most stunning place on the boat, I think.”

Not surprisingly, it’s where the owners spend most of their time, the captain reports. Dressed in limed oak with pale blue fabrics, the covered midships space features deep sofas to sink into, as well as a full dining area for when leaving this haven for a meal feels like too much effort. Forward is a massive spa pool and sit-down bar , while aft is more lounging space, in the sun or under removable awnings. Above all this is a crow’s nest, a breezy cushion-covered hideaway for anyone seeking solitude.

The beach club and gym at the stern is another area that successfully makes the indoor-outdoor connection the owners desired. The transom opens to reveal a semicircular sofa and coffee table ideally situated for cocktails or coffee at the water’s edge. A starboard-side opening just forward of the beach club exposes the gym, which includes a Technogym treadmill and cross trainer recessed into the floor. And if your idea of fitness is enjoyed on the greens rather than the gym, there’s a golf tee practice machine that can be set up on the platform here or on the sundeck aft. On the opposite side of the yacht, the port shell door opens to launch the Chris-Craft and Williams tenders.

It’s hard to think of a water toy that North Star does not carry. With the transom door unfolded, a substantial four-metre swim platform is created, yet that’s not enough to handle the yacht’s complement of playthings. So the deck crew can erect a string of NautiBuoy inflatable platforms to provide a temporary dock for the WaveRunners, Seabobs, Reverso Air sailing dinghy, foiling and electric jet surfboards, stand-up paddleboards and more. Trailing this, an inflatable jungle gym with slide and bouncy “blob” can be set up. All of this is devised to tire out the family’s four children, but North Star will also cater to charter guests in the future .

Simple, clean lines define the yacht’s sharp- looking exterior, which is typical of Øino’s creations. “Really detailed and complex surfaces, in my view, tend to go out of fashion quickly, whereas simple straight lines generally tend to survive the test of time better,” he says. The full beam-upper deck and sundeck did give Øino a bit of a challenge. “It’s tricky because both of these decks are quite high up,” he says, “hence the importance of playing with tumblehome [the narrowing of a boat’s hull as it ascends above the waterline].” This, he explains, is how the superstructure appears to tuck in as it goes higher, if you’re looking at the boat from head-on or from the stern. “It makes it more dynamic and also alters and defines the way the light falls on the boat,” he says.

In terms of propulsion, North Star is straightforward, with twin screws powered by 2,000hp 12-cylinder MTUs, which allows speeds of up to 16 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles.

In the flat, calm seas off Antalya, sea trials were merely procedure, the captain says. It was the journey to Malta last September, then on to Barcelona, that was the true test. Hardly the optimal time of year for favourable weather, they were faced with gales up to Force 8 on the way to Malta, with seas uncomfortably on the beam, and even stronger winds in the tropical storm force range underway to Barcelona. While the weather laid low many crew with seasickness, North Star was rock steady. “She handled it very well; it impressed me really,” says the captain, who previously commanded two Lürssens of considerable size. “I’m quite impressed with the basic construction and the seaworthiness. You like to be able to grab something and notice that it does not flex. I can feel the sturdiness in the hull,” he says.

Of course, no one relishes that kind of passage, and the owners spent their first few weeks on board this past winter enjoying the opposite kind of experience: Caribbean anchorages with all-round protection like Antigua’s Nonsuch Bay and Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, where the still water and sunshine provided an idyllic setting for an escape. It shows just where faithfully following that North Star can get you.

Moscow Muled

Best vodka for moscow mule.

Dec 01, 2019

If you're anything like us, you love the Moscow Mule. And, if you love the Moscow Mule as much as we do, you want to learn how to make it perfectly, every time. In this post, we answer a common question: what is the best vodka to use to make the Moscow Mule?

Introduction

When it comes to putting cocktails together, there tends to be a lot of room for error. Precise combinations of meticulously measured ingredients that interact with each other in very carefully considered ways make it so that, if you happen to use the wrong brand or amount, you’ll likely end up with a very nasty drinking experience.

But what about when we’re talking about a cocktail, like the Moscow Mule, that literally only includes three ingredients? You might think it would be hard to mess up something so simple, but the risk is considerably higher. You want to make sure that the ingredients that make up one third of the entire drink are all high quality and delicious to ensure that your cocktail is as delicious as it can be.

The gingery, somewhat spicy kick of the Moscow Mule is made up of three ingredients: vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. It’s a super approachable cocktail in terms of its preparation, and the flavor combinations result in a zesty, delicious, refreshing drinking experience. Each ingredient is, of course, of utmost importance here, but the alcoholic spirit is the very heart of the drink. Swap out the vodka and you get an entirely different type of Mule altogether (and there are countless variations, such as the Tennessee Mule , which replaces vodka for bourbon). But there’s something about the clearheadedness of vodka that beautifully complements the kick from the ginger beer, resulting in a well-rounded and deeply satisfying drink.

Vodka and the Moscow Mule

In fact, the relationship between vodka and the Moscow Mule is so strong that it is believed that the cocktail is directly responsible for the popularity of vodka in the US. Though vodka had been around for a while, it didn’t really catch on until the 1950s, when the Moscow Mule made its way out of the Sunset Strip and took off in popularity nation-wide. Suddenly, everybody was talking about the alcoholic spirit, and its use eventually extended way beyond the copper mug. Yes, vodka makes the Moscow Mule, but the Moscow Mule also made vodka.

However, as you know, not all vodkas are the same. There are subtle nuances that distinguish different brands of vodka, and they each bring something unique to the Moscow Mule. There are differences in flavor profile, mouth feel, aftertaste, and alcohol content that make choosing the right vodka part of the experience of “designing” your cocktail experience. And while purists may cling to the mighty Smirnoff (and we rightfully doff our cap to the legendary vodka maker), there’s an entire world of different vodkas to choose from, each offering their own contributions to the beloved Moscow Mule.

What Makes Good Vodka?

But wait. What makes vodka "good," anyway? Why is one bottle of the clear spirit supposed to be better than the other? And what do we look out for when we sample it?

As you may know, vodka is a fermented starch (most commonly made from grains or potatoes), which goes through a process of distillation to become the mostly-odorless, mostly-flavorless concentrated liquor we know and love today. Vodka is a "rectified spirit," which means that it is often distilled at least three times. Often, especially with higher-end products, this number is a lot higher, and marketing teams will make it a point to advertise the amount of times the product has been distilled; this is because the product is cleaner and smoother the more times it is distilled, as impurities are removed with each trip through the still.

So, the difference between a high-end product and a low-end one will come down to the amount of attention and effort that is put into its creation. Not only is the amount of distillations a factor, the water that is used is also a major point. This is why many brands will advertise the fact that they use mountain spring water or other clean sources to create a clean, smooth vodka.

With that in mind, we’ll be listing the best vodka for Moscow Mules and going over their differences and what they bring to the table. This way, you can be prepared when it comes to  crafting your cocktail. Let’s get right to it. 

Absolut Elyx

Since we want to keep things as varied as possible, our list includes vodkas from various price points and budgets. That said, we're going to start things off with this luxury vodka. Absolut Elyx isn't only a smooth, delicious spirit, it also comes in an absolutely gorgeous bottle to look at which will be a welcome addition to your collection. And, it fits nicely with the Moscow Mule theme; Moscow Mules are traditionally served in copper mugs, and Absolut Elyx is distilled in a manually operated copper column still. Buy it for its silky, full-bodied palate, and keep it for its gorgeous packaging.

Ocean Vodka

Speaking of beautiful packaging, here’s another pretty bottle for your booze rack that happens to be filled with an incredible product. Hawaii-based Ocean Vodka Organic Farm and Distillery boasts that its product is "the only vodka in the world distilled from organic sugar cane and blended with deep ocean mineral water;" this means that it is completely gluten-free and contains no GMOs, herbicides, or pesticides, resulting in a clean and pure drinking experience. Its smooth, slightly sweet finish will beautifully complement the kick of the ginger beer in your Moscow Mule.

Everyone knows Grey Goose. Even if you’re not a vodka drinker, you’ve likely heard that name. It'd be hard to put together a list like this and not mention one of the most deservedly famous vodka makers on the planet. The French vodka has made its way into the hearts of people from all over the world with its sweet, round taste; the maker uses single origin Picardie wheat as well as water from a natural limestone well in France, which contributes to its characteristic boldness. There are several variations of the vodka, but for Moscow Mules, you just can't go wrong with the original.

"Luksusowa" is literally Polish for "luxury," and the Polish vodka maker's faith in its own product is well placed. Made with potatoes in Poland, Luksusowa vodka’s flavor profile is mild and clean; instead of hogging the spotlight, Luksosowa is happy to take a backseat to the zestier taste of the ginger beer and lime juice. The texture is what really sets it aside; as a potato vodka, it adds a good amount of creaminess to the body of your Moscow Mule.

Hangar 1 is the result of a group of enterprising individuals taking a look at what was available on the market and thinking "we can do better." They took matters into their own hands and created a vodka that blends grapes with Midwestern grains to create a floral, fruity flavor profile with a viscous mouthfeel. This is not a tame vodka. Hangar 1’s flavor profile is big and easily recognizable; it will add a decadent twist to your Moscow Mule.

St George Green Chile

If you want to add to the spicy bite of the ginger beer in your Moscow Mule, a good choice is St. George Green Chile Vodka, which is made from a variety of California-grown hot and sweet peppers including jalapeños, serranos, habaneros, and red and yellow bell peppers. The result is a sweet, savory vodka experience that is surprisingly deep, vibrant, and invigorating. Your Moscow Mule will kick a little stronger than usual with this bold, zesty vodka product. But who doesn’t like a bit of a kick from time to time?

Chopin Vodka

Chopin vodka is a small-batch, boutique product that takes its name from the famous Romantic composer. Unlike Chopin's Nocturnes, this vodka won't put you in a soporific or melancholy mood. It's rich and weighty on the palate, with a smooth finish that'll pair perfectly with the ginger beer in your Moscow Mule. The Polish maker claims that seven pounds of potatoes are used to make each bottle of Chopin vodka. We don’t know if there is any way to independently verify this, but there is a richness and full, creamy smoothness to the finished product that makes this claim easy to believe. 

Carbonadi is an ultra-premium, top-shelf vodka from Italy that falls towards the top of the price range in this list. It is made from organic wheat, distilled a whopping five times, and passed through a filtration process that utilizes black diamonds with super absorbent properties. It has a very smooth finish, and its flavor profile has faint citrusy notes that cut through the smoothness. As far as how it will work in your Moscow Mule, it is possible that it might counteract the spice of the ginger a bit, but it's a small price to pay for its decadent smoothness. If you're anything like us and think that being able to tell your guests "this vodka was filtered through black diamonds" is inherently cool, then this is the choice for you.

Reyka Vodka

Speaking of inherently cool facts about your booze that you can throw out there to impress your party guests, Iceland's Reyka vodka is made from arctic glacial water and filtered through Icelandic lava rocks at a distillery that is powered by geothermal energy from underground volcanoes. That's pretty cool. This hand-crafted, small-batch product has a very well-balanced flavor profile, which works to round out the Moscow Mule, providing more depth of flavor and texture. It has a touch of lemon and a bit of sweetness to it. Reyka vodka isn’t necessarily as bold or forward as some of the other choices in this list, nor is it as smooth and passive as others. What it is is a slick, full-bodied vodka with a bit of a peppery burn that will add to the overall character of your Moscow Mule cocktail.

Prairie Organic Spirits

Prairie Organic Spirits' vodka is a great option for a couple of reasons. First, it's an absolutely delicious vodka, with hints of melon and pear, a creamy palate, and a smooth finish. Secondly, it is grown organically and free from any harmful GMOs, herbicides or pesticides, which means the good people at Prairie Organic are looking out for your health. And finally, Prairie Organic donates 1% of all sales to the Spirit of Change Fund, to support more farmers going organic. So, this is a delicious, creamy, slightly fruity vodka that will go beautifully with the ginger and lime in a Moscow Mule, is produced organically, and is helping in efforts to support organic farming. Sounds like a win-win-win.

Purity Vodka

There are certain vodka brands that make a big deal about the amount of times their product has been distilled. Purity Vodka, as the name implies, is one of those products. And while we have some built-up cynicism for this marketing tactic, the result in this case is an exceedingly good vodka; Purity’s 34 rounds of distillation may have little to do with its smoothness or its hints of lime and nougat, but it’s still a cool factoid to throw out. It pairs beautifully with the citrusy, ginger flavors in a Moscow Mule.

If you’re well-versed in Japanese cuisine (or you remember that classic Simpsons episode), you know “fugu” is the name of a Japanese delicacy; a potentially deadly pufferfish that leaves behind a satisfying numbness in the lips when prepared correctly. This is similar to the effect that a good Moscow Mule should leave you with. This is a sophisticated, creamy vodka experience that works great as a cocktail base or as a "sipper."

Russian Standard

Russian Standard is what you might call an "entry-level" vodka, and it is priced thusly. So this is a great choice for someone on a tighter budget, because it’s cheap but still very good quality. This is a great example of what a wheat vodka should be. It is filtered through charcoal and quartz crystal, which is believed to have special benefits for liquids. It is grainy and neutral, and a solid choice for cocktails precisely because of its openness and versatility.

BLK EYE Vodka

BLK EYE Vodka is one of the most recent entries on our list. As a relative newcomer to the vodka game, they’re still relatively low profile, but that should be changing any day now: their product is truly remarkable. And though their marketing may smell of gimmickry -- it’s another one of those vodkas that makes a big deal about the amount of times it’s been distilled -- the end result is undeniable; it is a lush, well-rounded drinking experience, with complex flavor combinations of nuts, cream, and vanilla. This vodka is distilled from black-eyed peas from Muleshoe, Texas; of course, the name of its place of origin makes it fitting for the Moscow Mule, as does its surprisingly satisfying flavor and mouthfeel.

Wheatley Vodka

Wheatley is another entry-level vodka that is very accessible while also being extremely good quality. It's primarily a wheat-based vodka, but there are other grains that are used in its production. Wheatley Vodka is distilled in a "micro-still," triple-filtered and bottled at 82 proof. Its crisp, bright qualities tend to bring out the flavors in all the other ingredients that surround it, making it a great choice for inclusion in a cocktail such as a Moscow Mule.

Caskwerks Vodka

CaskWerks premium vodka is a relatively new product from Tempe, Arizona, and it has built a reputation for itself as a good example of what vodka should be. Known for its smoothness and sweet finish, the spirit also has an openness to it that leads itself perfectly to its use in cocktails such as the Moscow Mule. For this reason, it is fast becoming a preferred choice for mixologists everywhere.

Stolichnaya Vodka

Ah, yes -- the mighty Stolichnaya. Or “Stoli,” as it is affectionately known by its loyalists. A company that's been around since the beginning of the 20th century, their vodka is a classic Russian go-to, and it feels completely appropriate to use in a Moscow Mule (even though the drink itself isn't technically from Russia). This wheat and rye based vodka has mineral and fruit peel aromas and a medium-bodied palate. As far as taste, price, and availability, Stolichnaya is one of the best vodkas you can find; it not only works great as a "sipper", but it's also fantastic as a cocktail base. Definitely a classic, well-trodden choice for a Moscow Mule, and with good reason.

Kalak Vodka

So far on this list we've featured Polish vodkas, French vodkas, Russian vodkas, Icelandic vodkas and American vodkas, but this is our first vodka from Ireland. An Irish single malt vodka with an amazing texture and beautiful dark chocolate, butter, and fruit flavor notes that work wonderfully with the bright spiciness of ginger. The product is “finished in virgin oak casks and charred over an Irish peat fire.” This sublime combination will kick your Moscow Mule up a notch in terms of its flavor profile.

Tito's Handmade Vodka

Hey, speaking of classics, here’s a brand that’s quickly becoming one: Tito's Handmade Vodka has become one of the best-selling vodkas in the entire world. It's one of those drinks that "go with everything," this is an extremely smooth vodka with a bit of a sweet tang to it; silky, clean, and with a slightly hot finish that reminds you that you're drinking a spirit. Every batch is taste-tested to ensure quality. Tito's Handmade Vodka goes great with any cocktail, and is a remarkable deal for good quality American vodka. Their philanthropic work with dogs is a plus, and makes Tito’s a company that you really love to be able to support.

Crystal Head Vodka Aurora

There are a few reasons why we're ending our list with Crystal Head Vodka Aurora. Firstly, it's actually a wonderful vodka; don't let the celebrity figurehead fool you (the product was famously conceived by Dan Aykroyd), Crystal Head is a complex beast with hints of marshmallow sweetness, peppery and floral notes, and a delightfully spicy finish that pairs incredibly well with the rest of the ingredients in the Moscow Mule. The other reason? It has easily the coolest-looking bottle in this entire list, and that's no small accomplishment. So if you want to impress party guests with an incredible Moscow Mule cocktail while also blowing them away with a spooky iridescent skull bottle, this is really the only choice for you.

Best Flavored Vodka for Moscow Mules

We've talked about how one of the strengths of the Moscow Mule is its simplicity, and how these three main ingredients interact with each other to create a very special drinking experience. But if you want to kick things up a notch and add a certain level of complexity, you could also incorporate flavored vodka into the process. Here are three classic flavored vodkas for Moscow Mules that offer more shades of nuance to your drink.

Grey Goose La Vanille

We've discussed Grey Goose as one of our favorite vodka makers, and while their flagship product is the original recipe, La Vanille is a fantastic product in its own right. A sweet, creamy palate and the flavor of Madagascan vanilla beans bring a whole new dimension to the classic Mule.

Hanson of Sonoma Habanero

The Moscow Mule is famously spicy thanks to the "kick" from the ginger beer. But how about we bring that spiciness up even more? Hanson of Sonoma Habanero is infused with, as the name implies, habanero peppers. And though the name sounds daunting, this vodka doesn't go overboard with the spiciness; in fact, it's just the right amount of piquancy to bring some excitement to your drink without making your eyes water. It's not just spiciness, either; unlike the St. George vodka we listed earlier, this one has a much more obvious presence of the pepper flavors, as the sweet and savory habanero pairs wonderfully with the ginger and the lime juice.

St. George California Citrus Vodka

For a drink that so prominently features lime juice as one of its ingredients, pairing it with a citrus flavored vodka is a no-brainer. St. George California Citrus Vodka combines Valencia oranges, Seville oranges, and bergamot, all grown in California. It's a fruity product that has touches of bitters and herbaceous flavors which will provide your cocktail a hint of earthiness in addition to the sweetness.

After all of this, where do we land? There are so many great options available to make this classic drink, each adding their own dimensions and nuances to the Moscow Mule. Whether you're splurging on a deluxe brand or going with a more budget-friendly option, there are fantastic vodka choices at every price point. So which choices provide the best bang for your buck?

Well, if we're focusing on the price/quality relationship, our three choices are: Hangar One, with its big flavor profile and accessible price; Tito's, with its versatility and thorough quality testing; and Praire Organic Spirits, who not only produce a high-quality product but also donate 1% of all sales towards supporting organic farming, thus making our world a better place.

We hope this has been helpful! Once you have picked the best vodka for your Moscow Mule, consider taking your cocktail's presentation up a notch by equipping your kitchen with some authentic copper mugs . Cheers!
