About the Kentucky Mule
Bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels, which is where its vanilla and caramel notes come from.
Missing something?
- No Bourbon? Use Jim Beam Bourbon (Jim Beam is a bourbon)
- No Bourbon? Use Jack Daniels (Tennessee whiskey is made much like bourbon)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Ginger Beer? Use Ginger Ale (Milder and sweeter)
