Sips & Tips
Technique
Use a spicy ginger beer — the whiskey's smoothness needs the ginger's bite for contrast. Fresh lime juice is essential; bottled won't cut it.
Balance
Irish whiskey's smooth, slightly sweet character makes this more approachable than a Moscow Mule. Jameson is the classic choice but any Irish whiskey works.
History
Variations
Kentucky Mule
Use bourbon instead of Irish whiskey for a sweeter, more robust version.
