The Moscow Mule should have a refreshing and crisp taste, with a balance of ginger beer, lime, and vodka. The mint leaves add a subtle hint of freshness and a slight cooling sensation in the mouth. The ginger beer should provide a slight spice and effervescence, while the lime adds a tangy and citrusy flavor. The vodka should be present, but not overpowering, adding a smooth and slightly boozy finish. Overall, a Moscow Mule is a perfect balance of flavors that leaves a refreshing and satisfying taste in the mouth.
