What does the The Munich Mule Cocktail taste like?

The Munich Mule is a refreshing and invigorating cocktail. The gin provides a crisp juniper backbone, while the lime juice adds a zesty tartness.

A touch of lemon adds a subtle brightness, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that is both complex and satisfying.

What tips do you have when making the The Munich Mule Cocktail?

Muddle cucumber and lime juice in a copper mug to release their oils and flavors. Don’t over-muddle! Use a high-quality gin for a brighter, more botanical flavor. Top with chilled ginger beer, not ice, and a squeeze of lemon for a touch of acidity. Garnish with a cucumber ribbon for a beautiful presentation.
