The big MULE episode: history, recipe, and tasting 12 drinks!

This week I'm showing you how I make my Moscow Mule! I'm also going to experiment with other spirits than vodka because I have a theory they'll all work plugged into this recipe. The Moscow Mule shares the same template as a buck: spirit, citrus, and ginger beer (or ale). Why is the Moscow Mule called a mule instead of a buck?
