How to Make the Best Jamaican Mule (Dark Rum Mule)
Escape to the Caribbean with this Jamaican Mule, a tropical twist on the classic Moscow Mule! This refreshing cocktail combines the rich, smooth flavors of Jamaican dark rum with the bright citrus of freshly squeezed lime juice and the spicy kick of ginger beer. It’s the perfect drink for those moments when you’re craving a beach escape without leaving your home.
What makes this drink so special is how effortlessly it comes together. In just five minutes, you can have a café-quality tropical cocktail that tastes like you’ve been to the Caribbean. The copper mug isn’t just for show—it keeps your drink perfectly chilled while you sip, and it’s the traditional vessel for any proper mule cocktail.
The beauty of the Jamaican Mule is in its simplicity and balance. The rum provides a warm, complex base, the lime juice adds brightness and acidity to cut through the sweetness, and the ginger beer brings both spice and a subtle carbonation that makes each sip refreshing. Top it all off with a tropical garnish—a lime wheel, tiki umbrella, or even a pineapple wedge—and you’ve got yourself one unforgettable drink.
