Blanco Mule (per cocktail)
Method
Preparation & Build
Chill glass (optional)
If preferred, place a mule mug or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before preparing the cocktail to keep it extra cold.
Add base and citrus
Fill the chilled mule mug or highball glass with ice (crushed is traditional, but cubes are fine). Pour in 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup.
Top with ginger beer
Gently top with about 4 oz cold ginger beer. Stir once or twice gently with a bar spoon to combine — avoid over-stirring to keep carbonation.
Finish & garnish
Add 2 dashes angostura bitters on top (they will scent the drink). Slap a mint sprig between your palms to release oils and place it in the glass along the rim. Add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.
Serve
Serve immediately with a short straw or without. Suggest to the guest to give the drink a quick gentle stir before sipping if ingredients have settled.
