Notes
Don't shake or stir the ginger beer: To preserve the carbonation in the ginger beer, be sure to pour it out last, over the other ingredients.
Freshly squeeze your juices: If you can, opt for freshly squeezed lime and orange juices for maximum flavor.
Use a bourbon priced somewhere in the middle, which will offer the best blend of value and flavor.
Copper mug: A copper mug is the traditional flourish for a Mule, but it also helps to keep the drink super cold, making it even more refreshing.
