Metallurgical note: copper is an excellent conductor, but that goes both ways. The ice will chill the copper much more easily than glass. Conversely, the heat from your hands will warm the copper up much more easily than glass. That conduction is what's causing the condensation on the exterior. If you're trying to keep a drink colder for longer, use a heavy glass, and chill it before adding your cocktail. The guy that owned the bar where the Moscow Mule was invented owned a stake in a metalworking company, and legend says that they used the copper from a cancelled order to make the mugs for what had become the bar's signature drink.
Normally when I make this with Rum or Bourbon I'll add the ice and fresh lime into the mixer with the liquor and shake it up then pour it into the mug and top with ginger beer. Helps avoid that mistake of shaking it with the ginger beer in there I did that once myself. :) Thankfully I kept the lid on tight until it could settle.
you two are amazing. I love everyone of your videos and I wish you would do more but that is me being greedy. I can only imagine how much work it is to do each video. I found the Keylime Juice on Amazon as well as the copper cups. I normally drink my rum and bourbon neat but that does look like a great and refreshing drink so I will make some this summer. Cheers!
I love a dark and stormy so i am sure I will like this one even more. I started my voyage sipping aged rums but after I found your TH-cam Channel I started to explore bourbons and WOW what a difference they are from rums. Love both of them but if I am honest I probably am leaning more toward bourbons now more than rums.
Pink Bourbon Aide. Equal parts strong bourbon. Rye or 100 proof should work. Pink lemonade Cranberry juice +/-. 1/4 to 1/2 part simple syrup to taste Zest of half lime Squeeze of lime Adjust to your taste.
bulleit bourbon and ginger ale. you cant taste the alcohol or get any burn, they go down sooooooo well. and its also not very expensive. wild turkey and coke is nice and now this may sound weird but chasing jack daniels with dr mcgillicuddy peach schnapps is actually really good though when i did it the shot was more like 3 or 4 in one big drink :P
btw have you guys had goslings rum? if so what are your opinions, also you guys again are so lucky youre in the states, down there goslings sells their rum in a version bottled at the original proofing instead of 40% 80 proof we get here. we also cant buy ever clear or things like that here without a permit for scientific reasons or a few other things. strongest stuff weve got is 151 bicardi and thats not eve stocked on the shelves apparently you have to request it and theyll go get you it from the back.
yeah i guess the government decided they didnt want people getting drunk off neutral grain spirit....that shits pretty nasty worse then moonshine if you ask me.
oh also incase you remember my last comment you replied to......VICTORY! lol they added wild turkey 101 to the liquor stores. or at least the website. deffs got a new go to cheap whiskey, its the same price as regular old JD here and as much as i like some sour mash id rather buy george dickel for 30$ vs jack for 37$.
Keylime juice?!?! That's a new one. (Obviously not since the video is 4 years old) Key lime is completely different than lime. But I like it, so maybe my next Mule will be a key lime one.
I live in TN and have to order my favorite rum as it's no longer made by Captain Morgan. I order from "Liquor Barn". As for a local bourbon ... give it a try!
"Or one, if tour drinking by yourself" i dont know weather to weep or laugh! Just kidding!! I have you guys to drink with! Hahaha. On another note, you need to adopt a ceramony for when you kill a bottle! Wild Turkey DOWWWN!!
Using wild turkey was your first mistake, its trash bourbon, if dont wanna spend too much get some buffalo trace, four roses, or old Forester in the 20$ range. Also never use a copper lined cup, use a steel lined, copper does not do well with anything acidic and will leach into your drink. And that gosling ginger beer is ridiculously high in sugar, over 40 grams per can, I'd go with either fever tree (19 grams) or spectacular ginger beer brands.

One of my favourite cocktails. Ginger and anything is usually good, but being a bourbon guy I can't get enough of these.
Love a good kentucky mule. Favorite spring/fall drink
I have used Bundaberg ginger beer as well. I find it is just as good.
Every time Sara says "cocktails" I have the picture of a parrot sitting on the shoulder of a pirate in my mind *lol*
Just tried it with Even Williams bonded . You can use more Bourbon and still have a nice flavor that's not over powered.
made this tonight, wow summer time drink. amazing
Copper is conductor, so it would not keep it cold longer. It does give an icy sensation which is nice. Nevertheless, love me some Kentucky Mule!
Physics
Cool deal! Thanks for the recipe and recommendations!
I love this but with just some fresh mint added. Am I alone?
I also bruise some mint and toss it in for that julep vibe.
Fantastic video and for what its worth, I dug the milieu quip, well played!
John Moons Well, thank you!
> is greater than; < is less than. Sounds good
So Jr stop building choppers and started mixing drinks🤣🤣🤣🤣

I like adding mint to mine. I’ll have to try that Keylime juice. I normally just squeeze half a lime.
Ever since seeing this I love this drink! I’ve used all the same ingredients and decided to add mint in mine so good!
It would be awesome if you could put a ingredients list in the video description, so I can have it for shopping.
I'll have to give it a try.. ive been looking for more cocktails for all my bourbon besides old fashioneds and mint juleps
I prefer equal parts ginger beer to bourbon. And equal parts simple syrup to lime juice.
I love y’all’s flight fights! 👍🏻🥃
Great video. Definitely gonna try making this drink.
The way this guy says “I love it” is exactly how you say it when you don’t love it
But this guy actually does love Kentucky Mules so that’s kinda weird.
I also freeze ginger ale in ice cube trays
I've been making this recipe but to make it really a Kentucky mule ; I use mason jar mugs. Also mason jar mugs are great for mint juleps.
great video - as always!!

Tom R Thanks, Tom! Hope you like the drink!

What was the brand of those mule mugs?
Russell Weatherly it's called Mule Me.
Pink Bourbon Aide.
Equal parts strong bourbon. Rye or 100 proof should work.
Pink lemonade
Cranberry juice
+/-. 1/4 to 1/2 part simple syrup to taste
Zest of half lime
Squeeze of lime
Adjust to your taste.
laplantski sounds good!
I had two gentlemen come into my bar and order two burbon mules.
Smart guys! In what state is your bar located?
@@ItsBourbonNight haha! Illinois
A better ginger beer makes a huge difference
Crushed ice in my Kentucky Mules and Mint Juleps. Really keeps it chilled in the copper mug.
congrats for 4k as well.
Thanks, Jake! Now the countdown begins to 5,000! Hopefully.

bmxriderforlife1234 Thanks for the suggestions! That's crazy about the high proof stuff where you are. We had no idea!

Great video, with one exception...Gosling ginger beer is awful. Get Fever Tree or Q.
Kentucky Mules are awesome! I tried my first with 101 and Cock and Bull ginger beer, it made a damn fine drink! If it's not broke don't fix it!
Too much lime for me. I only use the lime slice. I liked the ginger beer more. Thank you for sharing.
Keylime juice?!?! That's a new one. (Obviously not since the video is 4 years old) Key lime is completely different than lime. But I like it, so maybe my next Mule will be a key lime one.
👍
Good stuff. Lol are wild turkey is empty
You know what would make it even more of a *Kentucky* Mule? Use Ale-8 instead of ginger beer.
Orie Stapleton I love Ale-8 but Sara doesn't. I think it would probably taste pretty good but we both do love ginger beer.
...Or Gents'
Potentially important FYI, Chad and Sarah: thehill.com/regulation/345904-officials-warn-against-drinking-moscow-mules-from-copper-mugs
Adam Enders Yep, we started hearing about this pretty much as soon as we posted this episode. Haha
I'm trying to get you guys to drink a local Bourbon, but i'm unadvised of the legalities of shipping booze. Can i even do that?
Jake Andrews It depends on your state's laws.
I live in TN and have to order my favorite rum as it's no longer made by Captain Morgan. I order from "Liquor Barn". As for a local bourbon ... give it a try!

Great drink.. Goes down a little too smooth.
Love this drink with old fo signature 100 proof. Big right now in Manhattan.
Ginger beer and goslings especially. Make my Moscow mules taste like “dirt”. I recommend Fresca or 7 up. The lemon lime replace the need for an lime.
That's no longer a Kentucky mule .That's more a 7 and 7.
Where's the mint?
Great drink! Plus I'd love to taste the ladys mouf after she drinks this!
You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to put the lime in the coconut.
mark hirsch it puts the lotion in the basket
You guys are adorable lol

Bottle down! Why aren't you guys humming "It's Raining Men" with the bottle turned upside down?
Holcombi I was thinking the same thing, it's how we show respect to the Whiskey
:)
You guys are a bit unorchestrated..
