Tips & Tricks
When I’m making the Black Magic Mule Mocktail, I like to keep a few tricks up my sleeve to make it taste just right. Here are some of my favorite tips to make your drink stand out:

For a fun twist, consider rim sugar or salt:

Lastly, don’t forget to stir your mocktail well!
- Give it a good mix to blend all the flavors together. You can even use a fancy swizzle stick for fun. 🎉
