About the Gin-Gin Mule
Audrey Saunders created it around 2000 at Beacon in New York, crossing a Mojito with a Moscow Mule. She originally topped it with her own drier, homemade ginger beer.
Missing something?
- No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
- No Ginger Beer? Use Ginger Ale (Milder and sweeter)
