Here is the story of its invention in 1941 as chronicled in the New York Herald Tribune: “The mule was born in Manhattan but ‘stalled’ on the West Coast for the duration. The birthplace of ‘Little Moscow’ was in New York’s Chatham Hotel. That was back in 1941 when the first carload of Jack Morgan’s Woe ‘n’ Bull ginger beer was railing over the plains to give New Yorkers a happy surprise…
Three friends were in the Chatham bar, one John A. Morgan, known as Jack, president of Woe ‘n’ Bull Products and owner of the Hollywood Woe ‘n’ Bull Restaurant; one was John G. Martin, president of G.F. Heublein Brothers Inc., and the third was Rudolph Kunett, president of the Pierre Smirnoff, Heublein’s vodka division. As Jack Morgan tells it, “We three were quaffing a slug, nibbling an hors d’oeuvre and shoving toward inventive genius”. Martin and Kunett had their minds on their vodka and wondered what would happen if a two-ounce shot joined with Morgan’s ginger beer and the squeeze of a lemon. Ice was ordered, lemons procured, mugs ushered in and the concoction put together. Cups were raised, the men counted five and down went the first taste. It was good. It lifted the spirit to adventure.”
