Here’s the CliffsNotes breakdown on the most popular US brands of ginger beer to use in your cocktails!! Pro tip: health food stores usually carry a pretty awesome selection of ginger beer! We like SUPER spicy, SUPER carbonated, and LOW sweetness. Just to help point you in the right direction, ginger beer varies wildly in terms of heat, sweet, and carbonation. Those cans of gingery goodness hiding in your fridge are super versatile and perfect for lazy summer BBQ days on the back patio. We stock our fridge with ginger beer during the summer months as you can make a mule with a heck of a lot more than vodka! Ahem, this tequila mule comes to mind first, but you can also use gin, bourbon, or rum to mix with ginger beer. This is one of those ginger beer cocktails that we absolutely love! I don’t instinctively pair tequila and ginger together, but considering ginger goes great with lime, heat, and herbs- it’s no wonder that this Mexican mule is a dreamy ginger beer cocktail! Note the amount of ginger beer! We’ve noticed it’s pretty common for people at home to pour in a shot, a few ice cubes, and top the glass with ginger beer, using nearly 1 whole can per cocktail.īy only using 4-6 ounces you can make 2-3 cocktails with most cans/bottles of ginger beer and the flavors are better balanced.Īn easy frame of reference: 4 ounces is 1/2 cup! Our favorite ginger beer cocktail! Top with 4-6 ounces of ginger beer and garnish with a sprig of mint and/or wedge of lime.Įasy, right? Cheers and enjoy this satisfying tequila cocktail!.We like serving these in stemless wine glasses for some reason- it actually looks really nice! Fill your glass with ice, whether a cooper mug or a glass tumbler.First off, we’ll add lime to our glasses and throw the squeezed lime halves in the glasses as well.

Ok, ok! Enough hyping you up to make this, let’s get into the recipe deets and how to make tequila mules! To make this mule cocktail variation you are going to need the following 3 ingredients: tequila, ginger beer, and lime! But adding it elevates things to a whole new level. Picture this: You just made a fizzy, bubbly tequila mule loaded with snappy lime and fiery ginger flavors and added a sprig of mint to garnish.Īs you take a sip and the mint garnish gets close to your face– you’re hit with a cooling burst of mint aroma! Helloooo, refreshing summer cocktail! You can totally do without it. Mint isn’t actually mixed into the cocktail, but it really does add so much to the drink! Garnishes add to cocktails by layering on aromas.

You don’t need a fancy copper mug to enjoy this, a glass tumbler will work just as nice- but if you have added a few copper mugs to your bar collection, it’s time to dust those babies off! Now, if you like your cocktails on the sweet side you can absolutely add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup- or triple sec, as we’re working with tequila here- to dial up the sweet factor. This recipe does not call for simple syrup as frankly, most mass-produced ginger beers have PLENTY of sugar. Some recipes include simple syrup while others do not. You guys, tequila is for so much more than margaritas and palomas! This Mexican mule recipe is here to prove it- it’s a delicious Mexican cocktail with tequila! The main difference here is we’re switching up the vodka for tequila. Happy hour starts in 3, 2, 1…… A Moscow Mule with Tequila? If you know and love the classic Moscow mule, you’re going to love this spin also served best in a copper mug- the tequila mule!! Mexican Tequila Mules are here to help you eat and drink in style!! Arriba my friends! The zesty ginger beer, spark of lime, and bold tequila flavor make these Mexican mules fantastic cocktails to enjoy on any occasion.
