Montanans love an Old Fashioned or a Moscow Mule.

Old Fashioned makes sense for Montana. Locals love whiskey and have a common term, whiskey ditch, which translates to whiskey and water.

A Moscow Mule has become more popular over the last decade and involves vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime.

You can get an Old Fashioned in any bar in Montana. It's the same ingredients everywhere you go and one of the first drinks you learn to make as a bartender.

Moscow Mules, on the other hand, are usually found in more upscale bars. The copper mugs aren't cheap, and having them on hand in a dive bar might seem ridiculous.
