If you are planning on celebrating St. Patrick’s Day but green beer doesn’t really do it for you, let me introduce you to this fantastic cocktail. The Irish mule is a super simple twist on a classic cocktail, the Moscow mule. In this drink, we are simply swapping the vodka out for some Irish whiskey. The result is a delightful cocktail that I might like even more than the original.
Other Great Moscow Mule Variations
Kentucky Mule is similar to this Irish Mule but is made with bourbon. Tequila Mule is like a margarita and mule come together! Moscow Mule with Gin: Probably my favorite of all the variations, because I’m a gin lover.
If you make this Irish mule recipe, I’d love to know what you think! Please come back and leave a comment.
Irish whiskey: At the heart of the Irish mule, Jameson Irish Whiskey takes center stage. Known for its smooth and mellow character, Jameson brings a balanced blend of sweet and spicy notes. Ginger beer: The bubbly nature of ginger beer ensures a refreshing and lively kick to the cocktail. You can find ginger beer in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties. I share more about this below. Lime juice: Fresh lime juice is recommended for the vibrant tangy flavor and overall freshness it adds to the cocktail.
Crabbies stands out as a fantastic choice, adding a delightful blend of flavors with an alcoholic twist. Another excellent option is Sprecher Hard Ginger Beer. Swap ginger ale. If you prefer a lighter and sweeter alternative or are unable to find ginger beer, use ginger ale.
However, if you don’t have a copper mug handy, a small tumbler works just fine. I’m not one to strictly adhere to the rules when it comes to savoring delightful cocktails. Cheers to enjoying your drink, no matter the vessel!
