Irish Mule Ingredients

Irish whiskey Lime juice Fresh mint Ginger beer And that's it! This is one low-key cocktail ingredient list.

1

Directly in the copper mug, gently muddle fresh lime juice and mint to release the mint's fragrant oils.

2

Pour the Irish whiskey into the copper mug with the mint and lime juice. Add a big handful of ice. I like using Jameson whiskey here.

3

Now we give our Irish mule a good stir to chill. I like to stir until the outside of the copper mug starts to form condensation. 

4

For our final step, we pour in some chilled ginger beer. We give it a gentle stir to combine and then garnish with a fresh mint sprig if desired.

This Irish mule is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any casual evening on the patio when you need a cooling drink. Sláinte!

So refreshing and with the right amount of mint. I love the addition of the ginger beer and I appreciated the suggestion of the brand of Irish whiskey.

Readers love it!
