The Tequila Mule is a variation on the Moscow Mule, swapping vodka for tequila to bring more character to the drink. It builds on a format that has been popular for decades.
With tequila, ginger beer, and lime, it is bright, spicy, and refreshing. The tequila adds depth and a slightly earthy note. It is a simple but effective twist.
Why Lush Life Loves It
I often go for this when I want something familiar but with a bit more personality. The tequila gives it that extra edge.
