Mexican Tequila Mule
Much like the Kentucky Mule, this rendition of the Mexico Mule gets its name from the region’s native inebriant. Tequila is made from the agave that is prevalent in Mexico, which has been harvested, crafted, and aged to create the signature liquor. As it turns out, tequila works quite nicely to mix up a Mule, and puts a refreshing twist on the traditional recipe. As always, the lime juice and high-quality ginger beer are the backbone of the drink but switch the vodka for some Camareña Family, Casamigos, Avion, or whatever brand you prefer.
