Kentucky Mule recipe
The Kentucky Mule is exactly what you think it is: an adaptation of the classic Vodka cocktail, the Moscow Mule.

- Copper mug

You just swap out the Vodka for Bourbon and voila, you have your Kentucky Mule.
I’m a massive fan of Bourbon and a massive fan of the Moscow Mule – I didn’t think those two worlds should ever mix. But I tried it anyway and I don’t think I’ll go back. You won’t either.
