Equipment

  • Moscow Mule Mug
  • Shot Glass

Ingredients

  • ice
  • 2 ounces Bourbon
  • ½ ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 4-5 ounces ginger beer

Instructions

  • Fill a copper mug about ¾ full of ice.
  • Pour in bourbon and lime juice.
  • Top off with about 4-5 ounces of ginger beer. Stir gently.
  • Garnish the Kentucky mule with fresh mint and serve right away.

Notes

  • Mug: Chill the copper mug first to keep the drink extra cold.
  • Garnish: Slap the mint between your hands before adding it to release more aroma.
  • Choose a Good Bourbon: A smooth bourbon you enjoy sipping makes a noticeable difference.
  • Make It a Mocktail: Swap the bourbon for a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative and keep the lime juice and ginger beer.
  • Don’t Rush: Pour the ginger beer slowly down the side of the mug to keep it fizzy.
