Lime, lime and more lime. For this mule variation, we up the Lime big time. Absolut Lime (Lime-Flavored Vodka), Ginger Beer, Lime Juice and two Lime Wedges! Is there such a thing as too much Lime? No, we don’t think so either.
7. Yule
This mule is one to be enjoyed during the holidays. Although if we’re honest, it’s delicious any time of year. Yule mixes Vodka, Ginger Beer, Fresh Cider, and a splash of Lime Juice to create a tantalizing mix of flavors that Yule love (sorry, we couldn’t resist!) during holidays and beyond.
