Moscow mules have been all the rage but for me? I don’t like Vodka so I never hopped on that bandwagon. That is, until I decided to swap out the vodka for Tequila and BOOM a star was born! Mexican Mules are now in the house and I am OBSESSED.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
I am not a cocktail drinker (usually just beer and wine) but first decided to try the swap at Luce, a local restaurant here in San Diego. I also asked for them to add some type of pepper to make it spicy. Immediately after my first sip I said… wow that’s pretty good! And the rest was history. I looked up exactly what they put in their regular mule, made my swaps and additions and tried to make it at home. The recipe below is my “perfected” version.
