Glassware
The traditional glassware used for a Tequila Mule is a copper mug. Copper mugs are preferred as they help to keep the drink cold and provide an extra flavor when the beverage comes in contact with the metal. Other suitable options include highball glasses or rocks glasses, depending on preference.
Flavors
The Mule is a unique and popular cocktail that has a flavor profile that will tantalize the taste buds. This beverage combines refreshing lime juice with agave syrup, making it sweet and tart. The tequila provides an earthy base to the drink, while ginger beer gives it some zesty kick. Add in some ice cubes for extra chill and you have yourself one tasty concoction!
This cocktail is also easy to make at home given its simple ingredients list. Tequila Mule has just four main components: tequila, ginger beer, lime juice, and agave syrup.
Each ingredient brings something different to the table when it comes to flavor complexity; the tequila adds an herbal-spice note while the ginger beer offers a warm spiciness that pairs perfectly with its sweetness from agave syrup and tangy acidity of fresh limes. Mix them all together and you get an amazing flavor profile that’s sure to please even the pickiest of palates!
