description London Mule Overview
The London Mule is a mixed drink that replaces the vodka of a Moscow Mule with gin, commonly London dry gin. It retains the established mule combination of ginger beer and fresh lime juice and is generally served over ice, often in a highball glass or metal mug. Gin contributes botanical and juniper flavors that distinguish the drink from the comparatively neutral vodka-based original, while the ginger beer supplies sweetness, spice, and carbonation.
