Make it.

  1. Rim a copper mug or highball with lime and worm salt; fill with ice.
  2. Add mezcal and lime juice; stir.
  3. Top with ginger beer and a quick stir.

To Serve

Garnish with a lime wheel and a thin slice of fresh ginger.

Ritual

Take a small sip, then another from the salted rim. The spice and smoke will keep unfolding.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

The mule is a simple formula — spice, citrus, and chill. Mezcal adds earth and smoke, making it feel less like a rush and more like a ritual.

Worm salt on the rim gives the ginger a deeper bass note. It turns the first taste into a layered moment rather than just a quick bite.

This one is for warm nights and quick laughter, with a little edge in every sip.

Notes & Variations

  • Add a splash of pineapple juice for a tropical lift.
