Why an Irish Mule?
The Irish Mule is the perfect balance of smooth Irish whiskey, refreshing ginger beer, and a hint of lime, making it the ideal drink to enjoy while celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. It’s simple, flavorful, and oh-so-refreshing—plus, it's incredibly easy to make!
Let’s raise our glasses and get mixing. Here’s everything you need to craft this festive cocktail:
Irish Mule Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Irish Whiskey (we recommend a bottle like Jameson or Bushmills)
- 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice (about half a lime)
- 4 oz Ginger Beer (the spicier, the better!)
- Lime wedge or mint sprig for garnish
- Ice cubes (lots of them!)
Instructions:
- Fill your mug: Grab a copper mug (or any glass you’ve got on hand) and fill it with ice cubes.
- Mix the whiskey and lime juice: Pour 2 oz of your favorite Irish whiskey over the ice. Then, squeeze in the fresh lime juice for a tangy twist.
- Top it off: Add 4 oz of ginger beer to give it that bubbly, spicy kick. You can adjust the ginger beer to your taste—more for a stronger ginger flavor!
- Garnish & serve: Stir gently to combine, and garnish with a lime wedge or mint sprig for a little extra flair.
Voila! You've got the perfect Irish Mule to sip on all day (or night) long. Cheers to good company and great drinks!
