Teremana Holiday Mule
About
The Holiday Mule is a seasonal twist on a timeless favorite - crisp, colorful, and bubbling with cheer. Where the classic Moscow Mule relies on vodka, this festive upgrade swaps in Teremana Blanco Tequila, adding a smooth agave depth that pairs beautifully with tart cranberry and zingy lime. Topped with spicy ginger beer, it’s the kind of drink that lights up a party without overpowering the room.
It’s vibrant and aromatic, with every sip hitting that perfect mix of tart fruit, bright citrus, and warming ginger spice. Served in a copper mug (because tradition never goes out of style), the Holiday Mule feels both classic and new - equally suited for festive gatherings, cozy nights in, or any moment that calls for something sparkling and celebratory.
Shaken or Stirred? Built and stirred. This keeps the ginger beer lively and effervescent - just the way a proper Mule should be.

Tasting Notes
The Barsys Edge
The Mule’s magic is in its balance - too much juice dulls the spice, too much ginger overpowers the tequila. Barsys nails the ratio every time, delivering a perfect mix of warmth, sparkle, and smoothness.
Sip Setting
Best served when the lights are twinkling, the music’s mellow, and you’re in the mood to toast to good company. The Holiday Mule is festive enough for the spotlight, yet smooth enough for everyday sipping.
Garnish Game
Classic lime wheel, fragrant rosemary sprig, or a few floating cranberries for that picture-perfect pop of color.
