Ingredients:

  • 2 fl oz (60 ml) Kentucky Bourbon
  • 5 fl oz (15 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
  • 4–6 fl oz (120–180 ml) High-Quality Spicy Ginger Beer
  • Cubed or Crushed Ice
  • 1 Lime Wheel or Wedge, for garnish
  • 1 Fresh Mint Sprig, optional for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Chill the copper mug in the freezer for a minimum of 5 minutes before mixing to ensure maximum chill.
  2. Pour the measured Kentucky Bourbon and the fresh lime juice directly into the chilled copper mug.
  3. Fill the mug completely with ice (cubed or crushed), leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space at the top.
  4. Slowly and gently pour the high-quality ginger beer over the ice until the mug is full, watching for slight foaming.
  5. Use a bar spoon to stir briefly—just 1 or 2 turns—to incorporate the ingredients without losing carbonation.
  6. Place a lime wedge or wheel on the rim and insert a freshly clapped mint sprig. Serve the Kentucky Mule Cocktail immediately while the mug is frosty.
