Notes
Brand of Ginger Beer: I quite enjoy the Fever Tree ginger beer, but it does have about 10g of sugar per serving, so if that's important to you, you may want to look for a low-sugar option. I like the Poppi brand of prebiotic drinks, but in a pinch some sparkling water with ginger simple syrup could also be a decent sub.
Moscow Mule Glass: there's no requirement to use the typical copper mug, which you can buy online, but it's helpful to use a heavy-bottomed glass with a handle to make the muddling easier.
Adjusting the Sweetness: adding more simple syrup or coconut sugar will increase the sweetness of the drink, though be careful not to add too much mint or it will throw the ginger beer's sharpness out of balance.
