Meet the Mexican Mule, a spirited fusion that swaps out vodka for our Filo de Agave Blanco Tequila, injecting a vibrant, agave-forward flavor into this refreshing cocktail. With its invigorating blend of ginger beer and lime, it’s an easy-to-make drink that’s perfect for any occasion.
Filo de Agave Blanco Tequila shines in this mix, enhancing the mule’s classic ginger and lime notes with its own smooth, earthy character. Whether you’re hosting a summer soirée or unwinding after a long day, this cocktail offers a refreshing burst of zest and spice that’s sure to delight.
The Mexican Mule is a delightful adaptation of the Moscow Mule, a cocktail that originated in the 1940s. The Moscow Mule was created in the United States, combining vodka with ginger beer and lime juice, served in a distinctive copper mug. Its popularity quickly soared, thanks to its crisp, refreshing taste and the unique copper presentation.
The Mexican Mule gives this classic a south-of-the-border twist, replacing vodka with tequila. This simple yet brilliant substitution offers a new depth of flavor, showcasing the versatility and richness of Filo de Agave Tequila in a way that’s both refreshing and bold.
