FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute Ginger Beer with another ingredient in the Mermaid Mule?

Yes, if you can't find ginger beer, you can substitute it with ginger ale for a milder ginger flavor. Keep in mind that ginger ale is sweeter and less spicy, so the overall taste of your Mermaid Mule might slightly change.

Garnishing tips icon

What are some garnishing tips for the Mermaid Mule?

A popular garnish for the Mermaid Mule is a slice of lime or a lime wedge to accentuate the citrus notes. You can also add a sprig of mint for freshness or edible blue flowers for a magical, mermaid-themed presentation.

Serving suggestions icon

What's the best way to serve a Mermaid Mule for an impressive presentation?

Serve the Mermaid Mule in a clear whisky glass to showcase its vibrant blue color. Adding crushed ice not only chills the drink but also adds to the visual appeal. Consider using a copper mug for a traditional mule presentation with a unique twist.

Non alcoholic variations icon

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Mermaid Mule?

Yes, to make a non-alcoholic version of the Mermaid Mule, replace the vodka with non-alcoholic spirit or more ginger beer, and use a non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup. This keeps the signature blue color and ginger-lime flavors intact.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of the Mermaid Mule compare to a classic Moscow Mule?

A classic Moscow Mule typically has an alcohol content of about 11% to 15% depending on the recipe, which is lower than the Mermaid Mule's 21.11%. The Mermaid Mule has a higher alcohol content due to the addition of blue curaçao alongside vodka.
