The Kentucky Mule is my all-time favorite cocktail! This cocktail is the whiskey version of the classic Moscow Mule cocktail.
The Kentucky Mule is a super simple, three-ingredient cocktail that is perfect for entertaining a crowd or just treating yourself at home.
All you need is your favorite bourbon, lime juice, and ginger beer! Dress this drink up with a copper mug to make it feel like you are having a night out on the town!
For this recipe, I used Buffalo Trace, my go-to Bourbon. We always keep this stocked! Some of my other favorite whiskeys are Stranahan’s and Maker’s Mark.
