What is
Mezcal Mule?

The Mezcal Mule is a smoky twist on the classic Moscow Mule, made with mezcal, a distilled alcoholic beverage from Mexico made from agave, instead of vodka. It is typically served in a copper mug and features flavors of lime and ginger beer, giving it a refreshing yet complex taste.

Origins & History

The Mezcal Mule originates from the traditional Moscow Mule, which became popular in the United States in the 1940s. The twist of using mezcal, which is known for its unique smoky flavor, reflects the growing popularity of mezcal in cocktails, particularly around areas where Mexican culture and cuisine have influenced local drinking trends.

Taste & Texture

The taste of a Mezcal Mule is a balance of smoky, spicy, and citrus flavors. The mezcal adds depth with its earthy and smoky notes, while the ginger beer provides a spiciness and sweetness, and fresh lime juice adds tanginess.
