Lime juice and bitters, or neither
Bacardi's recipe needs only its Añejo Cuatro rum, chilled ginger beer and a lime cut into wedges. Angostura's Rum Moscow Mule uses its 7 Year Old rum and calls for a spicy ginger beer. It also needs a bottle of aromatic bitters and enough fresh lime to juice as well as slice into wheels. Its glass is a tumbler rather than a highball.
