Kentucky Mule
The Kentucky Mule is not just another cocktail, it is a symphony of flavors hailing from the southern United States. This delightful elixir combines the warm, oaky notes of bourbon, the spicy-sweet fizz of ginger beer, and the tangy freshness of lime juice. It's not only a refreshing beverage on a warm day, but also an enticing taste adventure that takes you straight to the heart of Kentucky's legendary bourbon culture.
Ingredients
- Crushed ice
- fill the glass
- Lime wedge
- 1 (for garnish)
- Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce
- Ginger beer
- 4 ounces
- Bourbon
- 2 ounces
Instructions
- Fill a copper mug or any glass of your choice with crushed ice.
- Pour your chosen bourbon over the ice, followed by the fresh lime juice. The order is important as it allows the bourbon to chill quickly while the lime juice trickles through the ice, spreading its tangy flavor.
- Top the glass with ginger beer, adding a spicy-sweet fizz to your concoction.
- Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the flavors meld together, but be careful not to over-stir as it can dilute the drink.
- Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a pop of color and an extra burst of freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced yet dynamic flavors of your homemade Kentucky Mule.
Tips
- Use good quality bourbon for the best flavor.
- Crushed ice is preferred as it chills the drink faster.
- For a spicier kick, try using a ginger beer with a strong ginger flavor.
- To make a 'Moscow Mule', simply replace the bourbon with vodka.
