Jalisco Mule
The Jalisco Mule is a refreshing twist on the classic Moscow Mule, featuring the vibrant flavors of tequila and fresh lime juice. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a zesty and invigorating drink with a hint of spice from the ginger beer.
Equipment
- Copper mug or highball glass
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or measuring tool

Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila (preferably Blanco)

Notes
For a spicier version, consider using a ginger beer with a higher ginger content. Adjust lime juice to taste for a more tart or sweeter drink, depending on your preference.
