How to mix it?

  • 1. Add all the ingredients into the Mule without mixing them in a cocktail shaker, as we want to maintain the carbonation of the Ginger Beer.
  • 2. Squeeze one or two fresh limes.
  • 3. Crush ice and add it into the Mule.
  • 4. Add plenty of lime slices for garnish.

What is a Mexican Mule Cocktail?

For the tequila fans out there, the Mexican Mule cocktail is for you.

This drink combines fresh lime juice and ginger beer to create a refreshing and invigorating beverage that is perfect for hot summer days. Add a splash of tequila and top with a slice of lime and you’ve got yourself a delicious cocktail.

The original recipe for this drink was created as a variation of the Moscow Mule, that is made with vodka. The Moscow Mule had been created in New York City in 1941 by Jack Morgan, owner of the Cock’n Bull restaurant, and two friends.

The Mexican Mule takes its name from the copper mug it’s traditionally served in—it’s said that copper mugs help keep drinks cold longer because they conduct heat more slowly than glass or plastic cups do.

You can spice up this Mexican Mule Cocktail by adding slices of freshly cut jalapeños. Add about two slices, although if you are very adventurous you can add more.

On the other hand, you can also use mint by crushing it and adding a few leaves. You can even combine the two ingredients together.

Your Questions Answered Mexican Mule: Mule Drinks with Tequila

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t your average tequila — it’s the real thing. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown in Jalisco’s highlands, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and created by bartenders who get it. Smooth, bold, and made to mix right.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

Any way you want. It’s a winner in a Margarita or Paloma, but it also shines straight up if you’re all about flavour. Whatever the moment, Altos always sets the tone.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Absolutely — we’re serious about sustainability. We recycle agave fibers, reuse water, and cut down on waste wherever we can. Great tequila, zero guilt.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s crisp and lively, Reposado’s smooth and rounded, and Añejo’s bold, rich, and full of depth. Three styles, one unmistakable Altos spirit.

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Of course. Altos steps up in any mix — Palomas, Tequila Sunrises, even an Old Fashioned if you’re in the mood to experiment. If it pours, Altos fits.
