Dark rum gives the Mule its tropical accent.
Why you are pouring this tonight
Dark rum gives the Mule its tropical accent. Funky aged Jamaican rum (Appleton, Smith & Cross) holds up best to the ginger beer.
What to pour it alongside
Jerk chicken, grilled prawns, fried plantain.
Notes
The funky high-ester rums (Smith & Cross, Hampden Estate) push the drink toward overproof tiki territory. If you’re after a milder version, use Appleton 8 or Plantation Original Dark.
