What’s special about this featured drink? The taste profile is dominated by the Ginger Beer which amplifies the spice of the bourbon itself and gives a swift kick to the palate while clearing the sinuses, too. The copper mug in which it’s served also makes the cocktail more appealing, keeps the drink cold and enhances the flavor properties.
For what occasion would you recommend this cocktail? As fall approaches and the leaves start to change, the Kentucky Mule becomes a great option for all to enjoy. It warms the soul. Sit back, relax and enjoy one by the fire with loved ones.

Pair it with…
Asian cuisine or a lighter dish that features shellfish. I’d highly recommend the Spicy Shrimp Salad from Paradise by the Slice.
