The original mule’s simple profile starkly contrasts the deep, rich flavours of this shaken variation, which ranges from ruby red to deep purple hue for a fun visual presentation.
The brilliant blue colouration of this drink – courtesy of blue curacao liqueur – makes it an ideal summer cocktail, with an airy and crisp profile, but smoother than the original.
The subtle textural change brought about by the interaction between the mint & carbonation in the spice of ginger ale calls for a stirring approach while highlighting its herbal profiles.
Layering the ingredients can result in a complex flavour – complete with fresh pineapple juice and a pinch of dried ginger for additional spice depth.
This unique combination features herbs utilised to their full potential by torching or mulching them, providing unique layers of flavour with added depth.
