Tequila Mule
The tequila mule is simply a Moscow Mule made with tequila in place of vodka. In my opinion, it's way better thanks to tequila's abundance of character.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 4 ounces ginger beer alcoholic or non-alcoholic
- 2 ounces tequila vodka for classic variation
- 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
- Mint leaves lime wedge, or candied ginger garnish
Instructions
- Pour lime juice and tequila into a copper mug and fill with ice.
- Top with ginger beer and stir. Garnish with a lime wedge and mint leaves if desired.
Notes
Ginger beer comes in two forms. One is a non-alcoholic soda stocked at most grocery stores, and the other is a hard soda with alcohol. Crabbie's is a popular spiked option if you want a more potent cocktail. You can use either one however non-alcoholic ginger beer is easier to find and likely more common.
Slap a mint sprig on the back of your hand before garnishing: This method releases the oils and makes the mint more aromatic with every sip.
