Irish Mule

Tasting Notes

The Irish Mule is a refreshing, zesty, and slightly spicy cocktail that puts an Irish twist on the classic Moscow Mule. The smooth, slightly sweet Irish whiskey blends perfectly with the fiery kick of ginger beer, while lime juice adds a tart citrus balance. Served over ice in a traditional copper mug, this drink is bold, refreshing, and incredibly easy to enjoy.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a copper mule mug (or a highball glass) for serving and a bar spoon for gentle stirring. A jigger ensures precise measurements, and a citrus press or knife helps with fresh lime juice.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Irish whiskey
• 6 oz ginger beer
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• Lime wedge for garnish

Instructions

• Pour 2 ounces of Irish whiskey over the ice.

Pro Tips

• Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best balance of tartness.
• For a stronger ginger kick, use a premium ginger beer like Fever-Tree or Bundaberg.
• If you like it sweeter, add a splash of honey or simple syrup.
• For an extra Irish touch, add a dash of Angostura bitters to enhance the depth.
• Chill your copper mug beforehand for an extra-cold, refreshing experience.

When to Serve

The Irish Mule is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, summer gatherings, casual happy hours, or anytime you want a light and refreshing whiskey cocktail.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For the best results, use a smooth and slightly sweet Irish whiskey like Jameson, Bushmills, or Tullamore D.E.W.. High-quality ginger beer like Fever-Tree, Q Mixers, or Bundaberg will enhance the spicy flavor.
