The Irish Mule

Swap vodka for Irish whiskey and the Moscow Mule grows up.

Why you are pouring this tonight

Swap vodka for Irish whiskey and the Moscow Mule grows up. The honeyed grain of Jameson or Bushmills against the snap of ginger beer is one of the great late-afternoon drinks.

What to pour it alongside

Beef and Guinness pie, oysters, soda bread.

Notes

Use a real ginger beer (Bundaberg, Fever-Tree). Smoother whiskeys like Jameson go fruity here; Bushmills Black Bush adds a bit more weight if you want a darker drink.
