Mandarin Mule

Cocktail Description

Imagine a Moscow Mule that's taken a detour through a sun-drenched citrus grove, and you'll have some idea of what makes the Mandarin Mule so irresistible.

This refreshing cocktail combines the sophisticated orange-cognac notes of Mandarine Napoleon liqueur with bright citrus juices and the spicy kick of ginger beer, creating a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and warming flavors. The Mandarin Mule is surprisingly simple to make despite its complex taste profile—just shake, strain, and top with ginger beer. It's an ideal choice for summer gatherings or as a brunch cocktail when you want something more interesting than a mimosa but equally refreshing. The drink pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, grilled seafood, or light brunch fare like quiche or eggs benedict. For maximum enjoyment, serve it in a well-chilled Collins glass with plenty of ice to keep it bracingly cold from first sip to last.
