History & Origin

The Irish Mule is a variation of the classic Moscow Mule, substituting Irish whiskey for vodka. The smooth, slightly sweet character of Irish whiskey pairs beautifully with spicy ginger beer, creating a more approachable mule for whiskey lovers. It emerged as part of the craft cocktail movement's exploration of mule variations.
