The Moscow Mule's Bolder Cousin
The classic Moscow Mule is refreshing. The Smoky Mule is unforgettable. By swapping our Premium Vodka for Smoked Jalapeno Vodka, you get the same ginger-lime refreshment with layers of hickory smoke and a slow-building jalapeno heat.
It's a distillery favorite for good reason — the smoky, spicy vodka and the spicy ginger beer amplify each other, creating a mule with serious character.
Why It Works
The ginger beer already has a natural spice to it. When you pair that with the jalapeno heat and hickory smoke of our vodka, the flavors don't compete — they build on each other. The lime brightens everything and keeps it refreshing despite the heat.
Dial the Heat Up or Down
- More heat: Muddle a fresh jalapeno slice in the glass before adding ice
- Less heat: Use half Smoked Jalapeno Vodka and half Premium Vodka
- Smoky but not spicy: Try our Smoked Straight Bourbon instead for a Kentucky Mule variation with smoke but no pepper heat
Pair with Food
The Smoky Mule is an excellent pairing for grilled meats, tacos, and barbecue. The smoke and spice in the cocktail complement charred, savory flavors perfectly.
