A REFRESHING COCKTAIL THAT HAS BEEN A FAVOURITE FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY, NOW WITH GIN AND THE FRESHNESS OF ALPEX GINGER BEER.
The London Mule is the variant of the Moscow Mule that replaces vodka with the aromatic taste of gin.
A cocktail that has its roots in a legend made of casual encounters, when in the Chatham bar in 1940s New York, a distributor of Russian vodka, the owner of a trendy Hollywood club who couldn’t sell his ginger beer and a businesswoman with a stock of copper mugs with a mule engraved on them started talking to the bartender.
In this version, the aromas of the gin give the London Mule an even more aromatic character to the delight of lovers of strong tastes.
