How to Make the Best Irish Mule (Cocktail Recipe)
Make an Irish Mule with 3 simple ingredients: lime juice, ginger beer, and whiskey. It’s an easy combination that delivers big flavor!
Ingredients
- Ice
- 2 ounces Irish whiskey
- 5 ounces ginger beer
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice from 1 to 2 limes
- Mint sprig or lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- FILL GLASS: Fill a copper mug or rocks glass completely with ice.
- ADD LIQUIDS: Pour 2 ounces Irish whiskey and 5 ounces ginger beer over the ice.
- ADD LIME: Add 1 ounce fresh lime juice and stir gently until combined.
- GARNISH: Garnish with a mint sprig or lime wedge. Serve immediately.
Notes
Glassware: A copper mug keeps this cocktail extra cold, but any sturdy glass works just fine.
Lime Tip: Fresh lime juice makes a noticeable difference. Bottled juice will dull the flavor.
Whiskey Choice: Use a smooth Irish whiskey you enjoy drinking straight. Jameson-style whiskeys work especially well.
Make It Sweeter: If you like a slightly sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup or use a sweeter ginger beer.
