Method

  1. 1

    Fill a copper mug with crushed or cubed ice to chill thoroughly

  2. 2

    Add bourbon, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a dash of Angostura bitters directly over the ice

  3. 3

    Top with ginger beer and stir gently two or three times to integrate without flattening the carbonation

  4. 4

    Slap the mint sprig between your palms to release oils, tuck it into the mug with a lime wedge on the rim, and serve immediately

The Kentucky Mule swaps vodka for bourbon, combining caramel and oak notes with fresh lime and spicy ginger beer.
