The Mezcal Mule is a brilliant reimagining of the classic Moscow Mule, bringing together the smoky complexity of mezcal with the tropical sweetness of passion fruit and the spicy kick of ginger beer. The cucumber adds a refreshing vegetal note that complements the earthy characteristics of the mezcal perfectly.
