Mexican mule

This Mexican mule cocktail recipe from Fever-Tree: The Art of Mixing is just the thing to kick off a Mexican-inspired dinner party. Using relatively few ingredients in this cocktail means the flavours really shine through, so sourcing quality ginger beer and tequila is a must.

This is a really simple cocktail that concentrates on the distinctive characteristics of Ocho Reposado tequila. I didn’t want to add too many other ingredients that might hide its unique flavour but, at the same time, I wanted to create a cocktail rather than a simple mixed drink. Fresh lime juice is the natural companion to tequila and a central flavour in Mexican culture, but the drink isn’t too sharp or sour, as the ginger beer balances out these flavours.
