The Gin Gin Mule is a modern longdrink classic by New York bartender Audrey Saunders. It combines the spicy sharpness of the Moscow Mule with the fresh mint of a Mojito and the juniper-spiced note of gin. The result is a wonderfully zesty, invigorating drink for any occasion.
Instructions
- Add the mint leaves to the shaker and press them lightly.
- Add gin, lime juice and sugar syrup.
- Shake vigorously with ice.
- Strain into a highball glass filled with ice.
- Top up with cold ginger beer and garnish with mint and lime.
Garnish: Mint sprig and lime wedge
Pro tip: Use a bold, spicy ginger beer instead of ginger ale - the sharp ginger note is crucial for the typical character of the Mule.
