The Munich Mule is a twist on the classic Moscow Mule, a copper mug cocktail family born in the 1940s. This refreshing variation uses gin, a nod to Germany’s gin history, while still embracing the ginger beer and citrus notes that define the mule.
The Munich Mule is a refreshing and invigorating cocktail. The gin provides a crisp juniper backbone, while the lime juice adds a zesty tartness. Ginger beer contributes a spicy kick, and the cucumber lends a cool, vegetal note. A touch of lemon adds a subtle brightness, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that is both complex and satisfying.
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.
