About
The Rum Mule is a spirited tropical variation on the Moscow Mule that swaps vodka for spiced rum, adding a layer of warmth and Caribbean flavor to the classic ginger-lime formula. Spiced rum's vanilla and cinnamon notes complement the fiery bite of ginger beer beautifully, while fresh lime juice provides the tartness that keeps everything balanced and refreshing. Served in a chilled copper mug over crushed ice — the Mule's traditional vessel — it is cold, fizzy, warming, and impossible to resist on a warm day.
Instructions
- Fill a copper mug or highball glass with crushed ice.
- Add spiced rum and fresh lime juice.
- Top with chilled ginger beer and gently stir to combine.
- Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint.
- Serve immediately while ice cold.
