Tequila Mule
This Tequila Mule, also known as a Mexican Mule, is a zesty twist on the classic Moscow Mule. With smooth tequila, fresh lime juice, and fiery ginger beer, it’s the easiest 5-minute cocktail to shake up for Cinco de Mayo, taco night, or any time you want something crisp and refreshing.

Notes
Lighter version: Use less agave in the simple syrup and use a light ginger beer to top.
Non-alcoholic option (love a good mocktail!): Omit the tequila and replace it with equal parts club soda or a lime flavored soda water (like LaCroix). Instead of shaking, stir the ingredients together in a tall glass.
Make ahead: Measure and stir the lime juice, tequila, and agave in a large jar or pitcher for up to a day. Stir or shake well then serve with ginger beer.
