This Kentucky Mule swaps traditional spirits for 60 ml of Bourbon, offering a richer, warmer base than standard mules. Combined with 15 ml of fresh Lime Juice and 90 ml of Ginger Beer, the drink balances spicy heat with citrus brightness. Built directly in a Moscow Mule Mug, it preserves the chill and carbonation. A simple Lime wheel garnish adds visual appeal and a hint of zest. Ideal for those who prefer the depth of bourbon over lighter spirits.
