Mexican Mule Recipe
The Mexican Mule is a high-velocity menu item that requires a precise acid balance to keep the ginger beer from overpowering the base spirit. By utilizing the performance-driven intensity of Frutiva Lime Juice, you replace the inconsistency of fresh-squeezed citrus with a stable, high-yield product. This ensures unmatched speed of service and recipe consistency during busy shifts. For instant menu innovation, try adding 0.5 oz (15 ml) of Frutiva Mango or Frutiva Tamarind to this exact build—one product addition enables a highly profitable signature variation that allows your bar program to Maximize Every Pour without complicating staff training.
Cocktail Ingredients & Measurements
How to Make This Cocktail
Step 1
Chill a traditional copper mug (or a heavy rocks glass) in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Fill the mug entirely with fresh ice.
Step 3
Pour the Tequila and Frutiva Lime Juice directly over the ice. The non-diluted, craft acidity of the Frutiva Lime Juice provides an immediate structural backbone that will cut through the sharp spice of the ginger.
Step 4
Top with the chilled ginger beer, pouring slowly down the side of the mug to preserve the carbonation.
Step 5
Stir very gently once from the bottom with a bar spoon to integrate the agave and citrus notes without bruising the bubbles.
Step 6
Garnish with a fresh lime wheel and a piece of candied ginger on a pick.
Step 7
Serving Note: Serve immediately. The copper mug will frost over quickly, keeping the cocktail at optimal temperature from the first sip to the last.
