What’s the best bourbon for a Kentucky mule?
While there are lots of lists out there that answer this question with first-hand taste-testing data, what often tops the list of suggested bourbons to use in a Kentucky mule are those that have a bold, spicy profile. The top-ranking bourbons for a bourbon mule tend to be aged in oak barrels. While testing this bourbon mule recipe, we used 2 ounces of widely available Jim Bean bourbon. If you have a favorite bourbon, this bourbon mule cocktail is a delicious way to sip it.
Bourbon: Go for your favorite bourbon or pick a bottle that’s described as bold and spicy. It will only enhance the already bold and semi-spicy flavor of the ginger beer. Lime: Squeeze some fresh lime juice for your cocktail. Trust that the bottled stuff just doesn’t pack the same citrus punch. Ginger beer: This is the key to a really good mule. Ginger beer is sweet, spicy, and bubbly since it’s made of carbonated water, cane sugar, and ginger root. It’s the top choice for a mule. In a pinch you can substitute ginger ale. Garnishes: Take a simple bevy and turn it into something fancy with some sliced lime or lime wheels, fresh mint leaves, or fresh ginger slices.
