Guangzhou Mule

This is a slight variation on the Moscow Mule which uses ginger-infused vodka rather than plain vodka to give it even more of a strong ginger flavor. I also prefer to use spicier or bolder ginger ales such as Vernor's or Boylan's, rather than dry ones that don't have much noticeable ginger flavor.

  • 1-2 Measures Ginger-Infused Vodka (preference)
  • Ginger Ale
  • Slice of Lime
Pour the vodka in a tall glass and squeeze the lime into it, then drop the lime right in. Add ice, give it a quick swirl, and top up with ginger ale.

NOTE: I chose to call this the Guangzhou Mule for the obvious reason that it has a lot of ginger flavor in it, and ginger is an integral spice in a lot of Chinese cuisine. I chose the city of Guangzhou because it seemed a suitable replacement for Moscow phonetically.
