RECIPE NOTES
Best Ginger Beer Brands for Mule Mocktails
- Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew. The spiciest, distinct ginger flavor with a moderate level of carbonation that goes down smooth.
- Fever Tree Premium Ginger Beer. The smoothest option with a decent ginger kick. Pricey.
- Q Drinks Ginger Beer. Spicy ginger kick with the most bubbly carbonation. Known for being a great base to drinks.
- Barritt’s Diet Ginger Beer. It’s on the light side but has zero calories and no sugar (without an odd aftertaste)!
Fun Mule Mocktail Variations:
- Kentucky Mule: Use non alcoholic bourbon or whiskey like American Malt from Lyre’s.
- Gin-Gin Mule: Use non alcoholic gin like Monday gin.
- Mexican Mule: Use non alcoholic tequila like Lyre’s Agave Blanco Spirit.
- Dark ‘n Stormy: Use non alcoholic spiced rum. I like Ritual Rum Alternative or Lyre’s Dark Cane Spirit.
- Add fruit juices like pineapple, lemon, cherry, cranberry, or anything you like!
- Make it smoky with a cocktail smoker kit. I recommend this one from Aged & Charred because it comes complete with multiple wood chips and the smoker fits multiple styles of glasses.
