mexican mule

The traditional Moscow mule gets a spicy twist with tequila and sliced jalapeño in this Mexican Mule. Homemade ginger beer really turns up the wow factor (plus it's easier than you think)!

Mexican Mule

oz tequila blanco

oz Cointreau ((orange liqueur))

oz lime juice

oz ginger beer

Lime wedges and jalapeño slices for garnish

water

light brown sugar, (packed)

sugar

oz fresh ginger, (peeled and minced)

salt

lemon juice

active dry yeast

Fill a copper mug or tumbler with ice. Pour in tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and cold ginger beer. Stir and garnish with lime wedge and jalapeño slices.

In a large saucepan combine 1 qt water, sugars, ginger and a pinch of salt.

Bring to a boil and stir until sugars are dissolved. Remove from heat and pour in remaining 1 qt of water and lemon juice.

Let stand, covered, at room for 2-3 hours.&nbsp;Place in refrigerator and cool to 70 degrees.

Use a fine mesh strainer to strain and stir in yeast.

Use a funnel to pour into a 2 liter bottle or into 2 - 1 liter bottles. Make sure you leave at least 2 inches of room at the top.

Leave at room temperature for 2-3 days, loosening the cap occasionally (very slowly and carefully so it doesn't spray all over) to release the pressure.

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

There's so much more to Mexican cocktails than just the margarita! Here are the drinks that are worth adding to your repertoire, both traditional Mexican and tequila spins on classics.
