Irish Mule

A whiskey-forward member of the mule family, the Irish Mule swaps the Moscow Mule's vodka for Irish whiskey, letting its soft caramel-and-malt warmth sit against the bite of ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime. Built straight in a frosty copper mug over ice, it's a tall, spicy, easy-drinking highball — a buck by structure, popularized under the "mule" banner that the 1941 Moscow Mule made famous. A St. Patrick's Day favorite that holds up year-round.
