The Kentucky Mule is a bourbon-forward riff on the Moscow Mule, itself popularised in the 1940s. The Kentucky variation swaps vodka for bourbon and is beloved for its spicy-citrus energy. As the Moscow Mule's ginger beer and lime naturally mask the absence of alcohol's burn, the Kentucky Mule became one of the easiest and most satisfying NA whiskey mocktails to master, gaining widespread popularity throughout the sober-curious movement of the 2020s.
