Ingredients and Substitutions
- Rum. I used Bacardi white superior rum. Substitute with vodka for a traditional Moscow Mule or bourbon for a Kentucky Mule.
- Ginger beer. I used Crabbies’s brand ginger beer, but feel free to use your favorite. You can even use ginger ale for a milder ginger flavor and less of a kick if you like.
- Lime juice. Fresh is best, but bottled can be used if that’s all you have. You can replace it with lemon juice for a slightly different citrus flavor.
