View BottleThe Gin for the Gin Mule
Ginger beer, lime, gin — the mule lives off ginger heat. A gin already carrying ginger as a botanical doubles the effect: Rarner Gin.
Ginger meets ginger
Most gins simply get run over by ginger beer. With Rarner Gin the opposite happens: its distilled ginger docks onto the ginger beer’s heat, the apricot lays fruit beneath, and the chili extends the finish. Two ingredients with the same backbone make a drink cast in one piece.
The recipe
5 cl Rarner Gin, 12 cl ginger beer, juice of half a lime, plenty of ice — built directly in a copper mug or tumbler, with a lime wedge and, if you like, a slice of fresh ginger. No shaker needed: the mule is the most uncomplicated route to a great drink.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ginger beer or ginger ale?
Ginger beer — it has far more ginger heat and texture. Ginger ale makes a tame, flatter drink.
Does it have to be the copper mug?
No — it just keeps the drink nicely cold and quotes tradition. A tumbler with plenty of ice does the job as well.
Which variant suits winter?
The mule with Hiemalis: the winter gin’s cinnamon and cloves join the ginger beer in a spicy seasonal drink.
