Perfect for any occasion, this mule is a testament to crafted American Single Malt and simple, unforgettable enjoyment.
Prep: Gather the Port Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky, white ginger syrup, fresh lime juice, and ginger beer. Ensure the chosen glassware is chilled, and prepare a lime wedge for rimming and garnishing.
Mix: Combine the whisky, ginger syrup, and fresh lime juice directly into the serving vessel.
Stir: Add ice to the glass and pour the ginger beer over the ingredients. Gently stir to combine and chill thoroughly without losing the carbonation.
Serve: Present the chilled highball glass, filled with the effervescent mixture and ice, ready for the final touch.
Garnish: Run the reserved lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then place it on the rim or drop it into the drink for an aromatic and citrus finish.
