Tennessee Fire Mule

2 oz Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire (cinnamon whiskey)1/2 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice4 oz Ginger beer (chilled)1/4 oz Simple syrup (optional, 1:1 sugar to water)1 cup Ice (cubed)1 piece Lemon wheel (for garnish)1 piece Lime wedge (for garnish)1 piece Candied ginger or cinnamon stick (optional garnish)

Method

Tennessee Fire Mule

Prepare glass

Chill a copper mug or highball glass if available by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling with ice water while you prepare the ingredients.

Build the cocktail

Discard any ice water and fill the chilled mug with fresh cubed ice (about 1 cup). Pour 2 oz Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire over the ice.

Add citrus

Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice to the mug. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add 0.25 oz simple syrup.

Top with ginger beer

Top the mixture with approximately 4 oz of chilled ginger beer. Stir gently with a bar spoon or long spoon 6–8 times to combine and maintain carbonation.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lemon wheel and a lime wedge on the rim. Optionally add a piece of candied ginger or a cinnamon stick to emphasize the cinnamon character. Serve immediately.

Notes

Adjust ginger beer volume to taste for spiciness and strength. Use fresh citrus for best balance; increase simple syrup up to 0.5 oz if you prefer sweeter cocktails.
