Method
Cocktail
- 1
- 2
Measure Spirits and Citrus
Using a jigger, pour 2 oz moonshine and 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice into the glass over the ice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter mule, add 1/4 oz simple syrup now.
- 3
Top with Ginger Beer
Slowly pour 4 oz chilled ginger beer into the glass. Pour over the back of a spoon or pour gently down the side to preserve carbonation if desired.
- 4
Stir
Give the cocktail 4–6 gentle stirs with a bar spoon to marry the ingredients without flattening the ginger beer. Lift the spoon from bottom to top each stir to integrate.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and optionally a piece of crystallized candied ginger or a thin fresh ginger slice. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
Tools / Cleanup
- 6
Rinse or wash used tools (jigger, spoon, citrus juicer) promptly to avoid sticky residue from lime or simple syrup.
