What is in a Mexican Mule?
A simple combination of ingredients is all you need for this delicious cocktail. You will need:
- Tequila- whichever is your favorite!
- Ginger beer- can be found in the grocery store with the specialty sodas or in most liquor stores near the mixers. Ginger beer is similar to ginger ale but with a much more intense ginger flavor. Despite its name, ginger beer is non-alcoholic. Ginger beer gives this cocktail a little bit of sweetness so adding simple syrup is not necessary.
- Limes- for fresh lime juice and garnish.
- Water
- Ice cubes
Mules are typically served in copper mugs however any glass will work!
