Minty Mule
About
The Minty Mule is a lively, refreshing twist on the classic Moscow Mule - brighter, greener, and packed with fresh aromatics. Built with Teremana Blanco, this version gets its cooling lift from mint, its tangy punch from lime, and its sparkle from ginger beer. The simple syrup softens the edges just enough, making the whole drink crisp, balanced, and incredibly drinkable.
It’s the kind of cocktail that feels instantly revitalizing - great for warm days, casual hangs, or whenever you want something light with a little ginger snap.
Shaken or Stirred? Muddled, shaken, and topped. Muddling releases the mint’s oils, shaking chills the base, and ginger beer finishes it with fizz.
What You'll Need
Single Serve
- 2 oz Teremana Blanco Tequila
- 0.75 oz Lime Juice
- 0.75 oz Simple Syrup
- 10-12 Mint Leaves
- Top with Ginger Beer
Garnish: Fresh mint sprig
Pro Tip
Don’t over-muddle the mint - press gently to release oils without shredding the leaves, which can make the drink bitter. And use chilled ginger beer so the fizz stays lively.

Garnish Game
A big, leafy mint sprig is the move - clap it gently before adding to release the aroma. Add a lime wheel if you want a little extra brightness on top.
