A Touch of the Wild: The Badger Mountain Mule

Who'd have thought that a classic cocktail like the Moscow Mule could take such a wild turn? Originally whipped up in the 1940s in the USA, the Moscow Mule was a serendipitous creation, born out of the need to market two products that just weren’t selling well—Russian vodka and ginger beer. Topped off with a splash of lime juice and served in a distinctive copper mug, this cocktail quickly became a hit on the American bar scene.

Now, we're takin' this classic and givin' it a real American twist—we're swapping out the vodka for somethin' truly unique: Rocketfuel Moonshine. The result is the Badger Mountain Mule, a cocktail that captures the rugged, untamed spirit of the American highlands. Here's how y'all can mix up this exciting drink:

Ingredients:

- 2 oz Rocketfuel Moonshine: A bold, clear moonshine that’ll give your drink a strong kick.
- 6 oz ginger beer: For that bubbly, spicy kick that makes a Mule so darn popular.
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice: Adds a fresh, citrusy zing.
- Ice: Enough to fill your glass.
- Mint and a lime slice for garnish: Adds a bit of freshness and a splash of color.

Directions:

1. Prep: Fill a Mule mug or another sturdy glass with ice.
2. Mix: Pour the Rocketfuel Moonshine and fresh lime juice over the ice.
3. Top Off: Complete your drink with ginger beer and stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
4. Garnish: Add a fresh slice of lime to the glass and decorate it with a sprig of mint.

The Badger Mountain Mule ain't just a drink — it's an experience, blendin' the rugged, untamed spirit of the American highlands with the classic Moscow Mule formula. Perfect for a cozy night by the campfire or a big ol’ gathering. Give it a try and feel how the strong
