London Mule

This London Mule puts a spin on a classic mule by using gin instead of vodka. We’re using a London Dry Gin and pairing it with fresh lime and crisp ginger beer. This is sure to become a new favorite.

WHY THIS LONDON MULE RECIPE IS SO GOOD

• This London Mule recipe is so simple and comes together in a few minutes.
• Has beautiful notes of ginger and lime which gives it a bright and refreshing flavor.
• It’s such a fun way to change up a traditional Moscow Mule by swapping out vodka for gin.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING A LONDON MULE

• There are a ton of different gins on the market– all with different flavors and characteristics. Try to pick a botanical gin (as opposed to one with floral or smoke flavors). Bombay Sapphire is a great go-to but The Botanist (an Islay dry gin) is also a great option. 
• Lime juice is a classic mule addition– it adds a bit of acidity and freshness. I highly recommend freshly squeezed lime juice. 
• Ginger beer adds a bit of bite and effervescence. Keep in mind that not all ginger beer is gluten free so make sure to check the label! 
• It’s traditional to serve this cocktail in a copper mug, which we think makes it unique and fun.
