Sips & Tips
Technique
Tequila's agave character pairs beautifully with ginger's spice. Use a blanco for brightness or a reposado for more depth. Spicy ginger beer is essential.
Balance
The lime juice bridges the tequila and ginger. This is more interesting than a Moscow Mule because tequila brings actual flavor to the party.
History
Variations
Mezcal Mule
Use mezcal for a smoky version that's incredibly complex with the ginger.
