London Mule

By 1947 when Edwin H. Land invented Polaroid Land Camera, the Moscow Mule was already established on the drinks menus of numerous bars.

John G. Martín (Smirnoff) bought himself one of the instant cameras and went from bar to bar photographing bartenders holding a bottle of Vodka in one hand and a copper mug in the other. He gave one photograph to the bartender and used a second to show the next neighbouring bar what they were missing out on. The Moscow Mule and the use of the Polaroid Camera was a stroke of marketing genius.

But with Gin we can do even better.

50ml Ginepraio Gin

15ml Lime Juice
