Description: A rum-based riff on the Moscow Mule, using funky Jamaican rum in place of vodka for a spicier, richer highball.
Cultural Background: A modern variation on the Mule family, part of a broader 2000s trend of applying the vodka Mule's format to other base spirits.
Tips: A rich, funky Jamaican rum gives real character that a lighter rum wouldn't provide.
Variations: A dash of Angostura bitters adds extra depth.
Serving Suggestion: Serve tall, over ice, as a spicy, refreshing highball.

Q: How is this different from a Dark 'n' Stormy?
