Moscow Mules are one of the most refreshing drinks ever. They are a safe go-to cocktail for when you want to sip your way through the night (or day) without a terrible hang-over. What I love the most about mule cocktails is that you can make several different variations by adding syrups, fresh citrus, and swapping out vodka for different spirits.
