The margarita is one of the most famous and beloved cocktails of all time. This iced drink is a blend of tequila, lime juice, sugar, and ice. However, the margarita is not a traditional drink in Mexico. The margarita originated in the United States in the early 20th century.

As the temperatures drop, so does the temperature of your home. Inside, you feel the chill, and outside you see the frost forming. It seems the only thing keeping you warm is your favorite cocktail. It’s true that the cold weather makes us want to drink something with a punch, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the only way to get your drink fix. If you’re looking for something that is spicy and delicious, this is the drink for you.

A Mexican Mule is a light drink prepared with tequila, lime, ginger syrup or ginger beer, and seltzer water.

A Mule is without a doubt my favorite beverage to drink throughout the summer. It’s very refreshing, and it’s known as a Mexican Mule when made with Tequila.

The beauty of cocktail creation is that after you’ve nailed down the basic formula, you can experiment with various spirits and add-ins to change up the taste profile.

Any Mule’s base recipe is as follows:

• Tequila, Vodka, Gin, or Whiskey are all excellent mule ingredients.
• Lime Juice, Fresh
• Ginger Beer (or Ginger Syrup + Seltzer Water) is a refreshing beverage.

Ginger Beer vs. Ginger Syrup

This is just a personal taste, but I’ve fallen in love with this Ginga Syrup from Iconic Cocktail, a local cocktail mixer business in Phoenix. It’s made with all-natural ingredients and has less sugar than ginger beer.

If I’m going to drink ginger beer, I prefer one with a stronger ginger flavor and less sweetness. Please do not use Ginger Ale, which contains more sugar and has a very weak ginger flavor.

Both Fever Tree and Q Ginger Beers are excellent ginger beers.

How to Make a Ginger Syrup Mexican Mule

• Tequila Blanco, 2 ounces
• 1 ounce Ginger Syrup 1 oz Ginger Syrup 1 oz Ginger Syr
• 12 ounces lime juice
• Top with Seltzer Water and ice (I used Topo Chico)

Using ginger syrup allows you to be more creative with your mule’s tastes while keeping the sugar under check.

You may, for example, convert your Mexican Mule into a Prickly Pear Mule by. 5 oz Ginger Syrup, plus Prickly Pear Syrup, 5 oz.

Different varieties of seltzer water may also be used. Topo Chico has a great carbonation, and it also has a lime and grapefruit taste.

Serve your Mexican Mule in a copper mug for an ice cold drink and garnish with fresh mint and lime slices for a professional appearance. I’ve included some links to several reasonably priced mugs below.

Isn’t this Mexican Mule really refreshing?
