Also, try our classic Moscow mule. Or for a twist, try our Irish mule and rum mule! A Mexican mule is a version of a Moscow mule made with tequila instead of vodka. There is lots of fresh lime juice and it’s sweetened with tasty ginger beer. It’s nice to serve it in a traditional copper mug, but you can use any mug or glass that you have. The taste of the tequila will depend on a few things, such as the percentage of Blue Agave used. If you want to avoid that alcohol sting you get with some tequila and other spirits, look for an older (vs. younger) tequila. Typically, the less expensive the bottle of tequila, the younger it is and the more bite it will have.
What’s ginger beer?
This Mexican mule recipe calls for ginger beer. If you’ve never sipped some ginger beer, you’re in for a treat! Despite the name, ginger beer is usually non-alcoholic (but it’s worth checking the label to be sure). That spicy ginger taste you get in a classic Moscow mule comes from the spicy ginger beer. It’s both sweet and tangy and has a much stronger ginger flavor than ginger ale. You can absolutely tailor this Mexican mule to your liking and try some of these variations:
Sweeter: To give this tequila mule a sweet kick, you can add a splash of cranberry juice, honey, simple syrup, or triple sec. Spicier: To add a little spice to your cup, you can try adding jalapeño slices. Herbaceous: Fresh mint leaves are a great garnish next to your lime wheel or wedges.
