PRINT RECIPE
PIN RECIPE
Servings: 1 Irish Mule
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ounces Irish whiskey (we used Jameson)
- 1- ounce fresh lime juice (Note 1)
- 3 ounces ginger beer or more to taste
- Mint leaves, lime wedge, or rosemary sprig to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill a copper mug with crushed ice, nugget ice cubes, or full ice cubes (we like crushed).
- Pour the whiskey and lime juice on top and stir gently to combine.
- Top it off with ginger beer to paste. Add more ice as needed and garnish with fresh mint or rosemary, and a lime wedge. Serve right away.
- Note 1. Lime Juice. Don’t skip the fresh squeezed lime juice. There are only 3 ingredients in this cocktail and fresh lime juice is key to a really good Irish Mule.
Recipe Equipment
Copper mug optional
Notes
Less Sugar: Use a light Ginger Beer, like Q Mixers Light Ginger Beer.
Recipe Variations
- Fresh ginger root: Grab this near the onion at the grocery store. It gives the drink a real ginger flavor to pair with ginger beer.
- Fresh rosemary leaves: While classic Moscow mule recipes always use fresh mint (and you still can), rosemary pairs really well with whiskey, too.
- Make it non-alcoholic: There are plenty of different brands of non-alcoholic whiskeys out there that you could easily substitute into this drink. One popular choice is Spiritless Kentucky 74.
- Kentucky mule: Swap the whiskey for bourbon.
- Make it seasonal: Use an orange-flavored Jameson and add a simple syrup with seasonal ingredients like maple syrup.
