Kentucky Mule by the Pitcher
Ingredients
- 2 cups bourbon
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 cups ginger beer chilled, added per glass
- Ice for serving
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
- Lime wheels for garnish
Instructions
- Pour the bourbon and lime juice into a 2-quart pitcher and stir for about 15 seconds.
- Cover and refrigerate the pitcher for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- Fill each mug or rocks glass with ice.
- Pour the bourbon-lime mixture over the ice, filling each glass about half full.
- Top each glass with chilled ginger beer, stirring once to combine without flattening the fizz.
- Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel and serve immediately.
Good to Know
For the zero proof pitcher, replace the bourbon with 2 cups black tea, brewed strong and cooled. The lime and ginger beer stay exactly the same.
