The Pomegranate Mule is a tart and recent gin cocktail made with recent pomegranate, lime juice, and mint. The drink will get topped with ginger beer for a punch of taste and poo.
This is a riff on a Buck cocktail, a class of highball-style drinks made with a base spirit, citrus juice, and ginger beer or ale. Either ginger ale or beer can be utilized in a buck, however using spicier ginger beer right here helps steadiness out a few of the extra fruit-forward notes within the cocktail.
Developed by bartender Kaitlyn Stewart, the Pomegranate Mule leans on recent pomegranate arils for a burst of tart, candy, and fruity flavors. To launch the pomegranate juices from the arils, Stewart makes use of a easy technique of muddling the arils towards the underside of a cocktail shaker. Shaking the mint with the cocktail helps launch the flavour of the leaves.
