Cock ’n’ Bull Ginger Beer

0% ABVCalifornia

Also known as “Jack Morgan’s Cock ’n’ Bull Ginger Beer”. Proprietary ginger beer that originated as the house ginger beer of the Cock ’n’ Bull, a faux-Irish pub in Hollywood in the 1930s (closed in the 1980s) popular with movie stars and closely associated with the Moscow Mule. While the brand is active today as a canned ginger beer, it’s difficult to estimate how accurately the contemporary product matches what was used in the original Moscow Mule in the 1940s. Ginger beer is generic for carbonated, sweetened soda, generally a spicier more heavily ginger-flavored version of ginger ale; usually non-alcoholic, though some historical versions were, in fact, flavored, fermented, alcoholic beer. Note that, with careful discretion, it can be possible to substitute ginger ale for ginger beer in mixed drinks, particularly if you have access to an uncommonly spicy ginger ale.
