Ingredients
Method

The Munich mule cocktail is a unique drink that serves as a gin-based variation on the classic Moscow mule cocktail. This combination produces a simple, effervescent beverage with a nuanced interplay of herbaceous, citrus and spicy flavours. Typically served in a copper mug or tall glass filled with ice, it is suitable to serve during summer events.

What you’ll need

Ingredients

Serves:
1
  • Tanqueray London Dry Gin (or any other gin of choice)
    30ml
  • Fresh lime juice
    15ml
  • Chilled ginger beer
    100ml
  • Cucumber, chopped
    Pieces
  • Ice cubes, for serving
  • Cucumber, for garnish
    Slices
  • Lemon wheel, for garnish

Method

  1. Step 1

    Chill a copper mug or highball glass completely and fill it with ice cubes.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the gin and fresh lime juice and top up with chilled ginger beer. Mix gently with a bar spoon.

  3. Step 3

    Garnish the drink with sliced cucumber and lemon. Serve immediately.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Instead of relying solely on ginger beer for spice, micrograte a pinch of fresh ginger right onto the final drink to produce a prominent and immediate spiced aromatic touch.

  • Instead of simply chopping, use a vegetable peeler to make long, thin cucumber ribbons. Twist it to release its oils into the drink before using it as an attractive, scented garnish.

FAQs

A cocktail made with gin as the base spirit, spicy ginger beer and lime juice, the London mule brings a floral, spicy and fresh touch to the standard mule cocktail.

Mules are versatile drinks. While vodka is the traditional base for a Moscow mule, gin, bourbon and rum (Jamaican Mule cocktail), or even tequila all work well to provide distinct flavour profiles with ginger and lime.

Vodka serves as the foundational spirit for a Moscow Mule whereas a Jamaican mule uses dark or spiced rum instead, giving the drink a deeper, tropical flavour profile.
