Charles Steadman, master mixologist and Lantana Jacks Bar & Grill managing partner, breathes new life into the classic cocktail, Moscow Mule, with the Mule Kick, a refreshing sip for balmy South Florida.
Mule Kick
- 2 oz. Tito's Handmade Vodka
- ½ oz. fresh lime juice
- 2 dashes of Fee Brothers' Old Fashion Aromatic Bitters
- Ginger beer
In a cocktail tin filled with ice, add vodka, lime juice, and two dashes of Fee Brothers’ Old Fashion Aromatic Bitters (“They’re slightly different than the Angostura bitters.”). Shake vigorously. Strain into a copper mug filled with ice, top with ginger beer, and garnish with a lime wedge to “adjust the sweetness.”
