Tequila Mule Cocktail Recipe
The Tequila Mule blends smooth tequila with spicy ginger beer and fresh lime juice for a bright, crisp drink.
Equipment
- Copper mug or highball glass
- Jigger or measuring tool
- Bar spoon
- Citrus juicer
- Ice bucket
Ingredients
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 4-6 oz ginger beer
- Ice cubes
- Lime wheel for garnish
- Optional: 2-3 mint leaves
Instructions
- Add ice to a copper mug or highball glass until it's about 3/4 full.
- Pour in the tequila and fresh lime juice.
- Top with ginger beer and stir gently with a bar spoon to combine.
- Garnish with a lime wheel and mint leaves if desired.
- Serve right away while the drink is cold and the ginger beer is fizzy.
Notes
A copper mug keeps the drink colder longer and enhances the fizzy sensation.
Pick a high-quality silver tequila since it's the main spirit.
Fresh lime juice tastes better than bottled juice.
Try different ginger beer brands to find your perfect match. Some are spicier than others.
Make sure to use ginger beer, not ginger ale. Ginger beer has a stronger taste that works better in this cocktail.
