📜 History

A straightforward bourbon adaptation of the 1940s Moscow Mule cocktail. While the Moscow Mule traditionally features vodka, the Kentucky Mule substitutes bourbon to add depth and warmth. The drink gained popularity alongside the broader mule cocktail renaissance and bourbon boom of the 2010s. Best served in a traditional copper mug to keep it ice cold.
