Key Ingredients & Preparation Tips For The Campfire Mule

  • Use Smoked Ice: For an extra layer of campfire-inspired depth, consider freezing smoked water into ice cubes or briefly smoking regular ice before adding it to your drink.
  • Maple Syrup for Sweetness: A touch of maple syrup complements the vanilla and caramel notes in American Woman 92 Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey, enhancing the cocktail’s richness.
  • Ginger Beer Selection Matters: Opt for a spicy, high-quality ginger beer to add a robust kick that pairs well with the bourbon’s bold flavors.

Fun Campfire Mule Variations

Take your Campfire Mule to the next level with these creative twists:

  • Spiced Campfire Mule: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of chocolate bitters to enhance the smoky, warming notes.
  • Smokier Mule: Use a smoked glass by swirling a burning cinnamon stick or wood chip inside before pouring your drink.
  • Applewood Twist: Muddle a few slices of grilled apple for a subtle caramelized fruitiness that complements the bourbon beautifully.
  • Extra Boozy Boost: Swap out half of the ginger beer for hard apple cider for a crisp, fall-forward variation.
