Missouri Mule Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Fill a highball or copper mule mug with crushed ice to chill while you build the cocktail.

2. 2

   Mix base

   In a shaker (no need to add ice) or mixing glass, combine 2 oz vodka, 1 oz passion fruit liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 2 dashes Bittermens Tiki Bitters. Briefly stir or gently shake (5–7 seconds) to combine and slightly chill the mixture.

3. 3

   Assemble

   Dump the excess ice from the chilled glass if it has melted significantly, then refill with fresh crushed ice. Strain the mixed base over the crushed ice.

4. 4

   Top and finish

   Top the drink with about 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Give the cocktail one gentle stir (1–2 rotations) to integrate the ginger beer without flattening carbonation.

5. 5

   Garnish and serve

   Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. If using, spoon 1/2 tablespoon fresh passion fruit pulp onto the top for aroma and visual appeal. Serve with a short straw or stirrer.

6. 6

   Enjoy: The Missouri Mule balances clean vodka with bright passion fruit and tropical bitters, the lime brightens and ginger beer provides effervescence and spice.
