What is a Mezcal Mule
A mezcal mule is a smokey twist on the original Mexican Mule 精品免费视频, which is a Moscow Mule but made with cctv5在线直播观看, in this case, mezcal.
It's one of my favorite ways of incorporating the rich and smokey taste of Mezcal with the zingy flavor of ginger beer to create a deliciously smooth fizzy drink that is approved by all mezcal lovers.

How to Garish a Mezcal Mule
When I have guests over and want to add something to fancy up the look of this 精品免费视频, I like to take lime wedges and skewer them through a 精品免费视频 pick! This not only adds a pop of color to this drink, but the addition of the lime garnish brings it to the next level.
Mezcal Mule vs Mexican and Moscow Mules
The difference between all three 精品免费视频s can be found in the base. Moscow mules are made with vodka, while Mezcal and Mexican mules are made from two different cctv5在线直播观看s. Yes, there are, in fact, different types of cctv5在线直播观看, one being the classic and the other mezcal.

Copper Mugs for Mules
Using a copper mug helps to keep the drink cool for longer than if it were in a glass. Copper reacts immediately to the temperature of the liquid, and the mug becomes ice cold. Using a copper mug helps preserve the 精品免费视频's flavor and ensures that ice won't water it down. Here are some of my favorite copper mugs to use when making Mezcal mules.
