Maple Bourbon Mule
A seasonal twist on the mule
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 ounces bourbon
- 1/2 maple syrup
- 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice ~ 1/2 lemon
- 4 to 6 ounces of good quality ginger beer
- Lemon wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Add bourbon, maple syrup and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Stir to dissolve the maple syrup.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds.
- Strain into a copper mug (or rocks glass) filled with ice.
- Top with ginger beer and stir.
- Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Notes
- Be sure to use ginger beer and not ginger ale.
- I used Q Light Ginger Beer and it was just the right flavor.
