Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a non-alcoholic version of this Blood Orange Mexican Mule?
Yes, you can easily create a mocktail version. Simply omit the tequila and replace the ginger beer with a non-alcoholic ginger beer or ginger ale. The fresh blood orange juice and lime will still give this Blood Orange Mexican Mule a vibrant, refreshing flavor.
What can I use if I can’t find fresh blood oranges?
If fresh blood oranges are out of season, you can substitute regular orange juice. For the signature color and a hint of berry flavor, add a splash of pomegranate juice or a few muddled raspberries to your regular orange juice before mixing your Blood Orange Mexican Mule.
How do I get the best frothy top on my mule?
For a perfect frothy top, shake the tequila, blood orange juice, and lime juice vigorously with ice in a cocktail shaker before straining it into your copper mug. Then, top it gently with chilled ginger beer to preserve the bubbles and create that classic mule texture.
