Description: A tequila-based riff on the Moscow Mule, part of the broader family of spirit-swapped Mule variants.
Cultural Background: A modern variation reflecting tequila's rising popularity in craft cocktail culture from the 2000s onward.
Tips: A spicy, strongly gingered ginger beer stands up best to the tequila's agave character.
Variations: A splash of orange liqueur can bridge this closer to a Margarita-style Mule.
