Head to head
Kamikaze and Moscow Mule side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Vodka and lime in both. The Kamikaze adds triple sec and is shaken and served up; the Moscow Mule adds ginger beer and is built tall over ice, for a longer, lighter drink.

In parts, a Kamikaze is 1 vodka, 1 triple sec and 1 lime; a Moscow Mule is 1 vodka, 2¾ ginger beer and ¼ lime. By volume, the Kamikaze is 34% liqueur, 33% spirit and 33% citrus; the Moscow Mule is 68% mixer and juice, 26% spirit and 6% citrus.
