An Irish Mule is a refreshing cocktail featuring Irish whiskey, fresh lime juice, and ginger beer served over ice. Combined gently and served in a copper mug or glass, it offers a balance of smooth whiskey warmth, bright citrus tang, and spicy ginger fizz. This drink is easy to assemble and can be adjusted by varying the ginger beer for lighter or stronger flavor.
