Kori's Tips

  • Adjust the lime juice as needed. Some limes are really juicy and tart. Some are not.
  • Muddle a little mint in the bottom of your mug for a more minty fresh taste.
  • Make sure your ginger beer is cold. It is helpful to have all your ingredients chilled.
  • If you are serving for a party pre-prep your ingredients. That way you'll be able to mix these cocktails quickly and have them into your guest's hands in no time!
  • You do not have to use a copper mug. Copper mugs have been traditionally used to make Moscow Mules and Irish Mules but it is not necessary at all!
