This Irish Mule Cocktail is a bright mix of smooth Irish whiskey, zesty ginger beer, and tart lime juice and it's sure to make you want to dance this St. Patrick's Day!

This Irish Mule is a refreshing whiskey twist on the classic Moscow Mule cocktail, also known as an Irish Buck, Dublin Mule, or Jameson Mule. It’s a simple 3-ingredient cocktail that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

This is one of my all-time favorite cocktails! The Mule/Buck family of cocktails are pretty basic, they have a base spirit paired with ginger ale or beer and a splash of citrus.

What Is An Irish Mule?

The most popular of the Mule/Buck family is probably the Moscow Mule with a vodka base, but it’s time for it to let some of the others shine.

This Irish twist uses Jameson Irish Whiskey instead of vodka as the base. But it still has the same vibrant lime juice and bite of ginger beer that you’re used to.

With just three ingredients plus ice, this makes for an easy St. Patrick’s Day Cocktail or something simple you can whip up when you just feel like unwinding after a long week.

How To Make An Irish Mule:

You can also serve this cocktail in copper mule mugs if you’d like, but since there’s no vodka in the recipe, the copper mug doesn’t have the same impact on the flavors of the drink, so a traditional tall glass will work just as well.

This is a really easy cocktail to make and requires minimal effort. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be sipping this drink in minutes!

You’ll begin by filling a tall glass about 3/4 of the way with ice, feel free to also add a lime wedge or two.
Next, you’ll pour the whiskey and the lime juice over the ice and stir.
Then, you’ll pour in the ginger beer.
Finally, you’ll garnish with a lime wedge or slice and serve.

If you love Moscow Mules, then you definitely have to give this great cocktail a try! It’s perfect for Saint Patricks Day or any day of the year when you just want a refreshing drink to sip!
