Ginger Mule Mocktail

EASY | SPICY | SUMMER

Long, tall, and deliciously cooling.

If crisp, cold and a gingery kick sound like your type of drink, the Ginger Mule should be your go to cocktail.

The Ginger Mule is a twist on a classic mule, with the addition of muddled mint providing fresh sweet tones similar to a mojito.

The original Moscow Mule was created in the 1940s to sell Smirnoff vodka in the US. The Mule was made popular in LA by movie stars of the time, who used to frequent the Cock ‘n’ Bull bar in Hollywood, where the stars often had their own signature cooper mug engraved with their name. 

This non-alcoholic Ginger Mule mocktail is refreshing, citrusy & spicy, best enjoyed from an icey glass for sun downers on a hot summers afternoon.
