Ketel One Cucumber Mule Cocktail
The Ketel One cucumber mule cocktail is a well-known variation of the classic Moscow mule, made for lighter, crisper profile preferences. This version uses the same base structure but replaces robust elements with more botanical character. The concoction is adaptable and requires minimal prep unlike the traditional Moscow mule’s spicy base - which becomes nuanced in this combination, with vegetal notes that mellow the zing without dilution.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Rub the inside of the copper mug with a mint leaf before pouring the drink; this subtle step releases oils that create an aromatic base, enhancing the cucumber and uplifting the drink.
Serving Tip 1
Place the mug on a chilled ceramic or slate coaster instead of standard bar mats to insulate the base, keeping the cocktail chilled for longer and also to prevent condensation from affecting the presentation surface.
