Notes
Here are some tips I find useful when making the Holiday Mule Mocktail:
Alternative sweeteners: If you're avoiding sugar, try using agave syrup or omit sweeteners entirely.
Spicy kick: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or muddle some fresh jalapeños for a spicy twist.
Extra fizz: If you prefer more bubbles, use club soda alongside ginger beer.
