Cocktail Recipe: Mexican Mule

A spicy twist on a refreshing classic, makes it a little better suited to cool fall afternoons. This one we formulated for a cooking & cocktails class at the awesome Dish Cooking Studio on College Street in Toronto, to accompany the food of chef Francisco Alejandri.

Level of difficulty: easy peasy lemon (or lime) squeezy.

Mexican Mule

• Squeeze 1/4 lemon or lime into your favourite cocktail glass

• Add the squeezed citrus, plus 2-4 slices of fresh jalapeno (or more, to taste)

Add:

• 1.5 oz Vaughan Vodka

• Ice

• Top up with ginger beer

… and that’s it. Enjoy at 6 feet distance from friends worth bringing into your bubble.
