Method

ZERO-PROOF

  1. 1

    Chill the glass and prepare ice

    Fill a highball glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill while you prepare the base.

  2. 2

    Make prickly pear base

    In a small shaker, combine prickly pear juice (120 ml), fresh lime juice (15 ml), and simple syrup (15 ml). Shake well for 8–12 seconds to blend flavors and chill the mixture.

  3. 3

    Assemble the mule

    Strain the prickly pear mixture into the ice-filled glass. Top with ginger beer (180 ml) and give a gentle stir to combine without losing the fizz.

  4. 4

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish with a lime wheel, mint sprig, and a prickly pear slice for color and aroma. Serve immediately.
