Lychee Mule

Lychee Mule

  • Serves: 1

  • Prep Time: 3 minutes

  • Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Lush Lychees Lychee Vodka
  • 20 ml fresh lime juice
  • 120 ml good ginger beer, chilled
  • Crushed or cubed ice
  • A lime wedge and a sprig of mint, to garnish

Ginger beer against lychee is the standout pairing of the whole range.

A mule is vodka, ginger beer and lime, traditionally in a copper mug because it keeps the drink brutally cold. Ginger has enough heat and bite to stand up to the lychee rather than being swamped by it, and the result is the most moreish drink on this list.

Method

  1. Fill a copper mug or a tall glass with ice.

  2. Add the vodka and the lime juice and stir briefly to combine.

  3. Top with ginger beer, pouring down the side of the glass so you keep the fizz.

  4. Stir once from the bottom up.

  5. Garnish with the lime wedge and mint, slapping the mint once between your palms first.

Tips

  • Ginger beer, not ginger ale. Ale is sweet and mild; beer has the heat this drink needs.

  • Fresh lime, not bottled. In a three-ingredient drink there is nowhere for bottled juice to hide.

  • For a non-alcoholic version, leave out the vodka and add a splash of our Lychee Cordial.
