Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this Mezcal Mule recipe:
I made this Mezcal Mule cocktail with Casamigos Mezcal. It’s not a super authentic Mezcal but I had had it on my shelf for a year. Mezcal is a bit too smoky for my taste. There are also more authentic mezcals on the market, and not all of them are super smoky so choose something that suits your own tastes.
Same goes with the ginger beer – this is such a simple, refreshing cocktail to make with mezcal it is hard to go wrong using your favorite ingredients.
But, you really do want to use fresh lime here instead of a substitute like Rose’s Lime. Good mezcal can be pricy, so you want to pair it with the best ingredients!

Tips
- I like to measure out my ginger beer for mules. Ginger beer can overpower the flavor of other ingredients you are using so you don’t want to fill to the top of the cup or you will throw off the balance.
- If you are making several of these you’ll want to use a citrus squeezer. This is my favorite one because it is sturdy and washes well in the dishwasher.

Yes, but remember using Ginger Ale will make a much, much sweeter drink and won’t have quite as much ginger flavor.
Yes! Simply replace half the mezcal with tequila to make a more balanced drink if mezcal is not to your taste. You can also play with the ratios to make your own signature drink.
