Irish Mule

An Irish variation of a classic cocktailil

A classic drink that has become more well-known recently is the Irish Mule. This drink is a variation on the Moscow Mule, which is a vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice concoction. Irish whiskey is used in lieu of vodka in the Irish Mule, giving it a distinctive flavor and personality.

The Irish Mule is a delightfully light cocktail that goes well with anything. With a spicy kick from the ginger beer, it tastes smooth and faintly sweet.

The lime juice gives the beverage a hint of tanginess that counteracts the richness of the whiskey and ginger beer.

Each sip of the beverage becomes cooler and more energizing thanks to its customary serving vessel, a copper mug.

I have always had a deep interest in the restaurant and bar industry. My restaurant experience began in 1997 at the age of 14 as a bus boy. By the time I turned 17 I was serving tables, and by 19 I was bartending/bar managing 6-7 nights a week.

In 2012, after a decade and a half of learning all facets of the industry, I opened my first restaurant/bar. In 2015, a second location followed, the latter being featured on The Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
