A kickin' cocktail
Coffee Mule
Save a cowboy, ride a mule! Maybe not, but you can forgo convention (and the vodka) for our twist on the classic, kicked up a notch! Easy, refreshing, no tools required? I’ll have two, please. The Kentucky Coffee Mule is a twist on the Mid-century classic, and deliciously refreshing, Moscow Mule. The original calls for vodka, lime, and ginger beer but we kick ours up a notch with a couple of tweaks and a shot of Kentucky Coffee Whiskey for good measure.
