Looking for a cocktail that’s refreshing, bold, and just a little rebellious? Meet the Kentucky Mule—a Southern spin on the classic Moscow Mule that swaps out vodka for smooth, smoky Left Bank Bourbon. Served ice-cold in a copper mug, this cocktail is a crowd-pleaser with kick and character.


The Left Bank Kentucky Mule

It’s everything you love about a Mule—bubbly, tangy, and thirst-quenching—but with a bourbon backbone that gives it extra depth and a down-South soul. Here’s what’s in our house version:

  • Left Bank Bourbon – The star of the show. Rich, oaky, and full of warmth, it transforms the Mule into a bold and spirited cocktail.

  • Ginger Beer – Crisp and spicy, this effervescent mixer brings the zing and the fizz.

  • Lime Juice – Fresh-squeezed for a bright citrus bite that balances the bourbon’s sweetness.

  • Crushed Ice – A mountain of frosty texture that keeps things cool and classic.

  • Fresh Mint – Lightly slapped to release its aroma, adding an herbal high note.

  • Lime Wedge – For that final squeeze, twist, or garnish—dealer’s choice.


A Mule with a Southern Drawl

The Kentucky Mule isn’t just a variation—it’s a full-blown flavor upgrade. The bourbon adds layers of caramel, vanilla, and charred oak that play beautifully with the bite of ginger and tart lime. It’s the kind of drink that’s just as at home on a summer patio as it is during a holiday gathering.


How to Enjoy It

Perfect for brunch, happy hour, or a laid-back night with friends, the Kentucky Mule is as versatile as it is vibrant. Served in a traditional copper mug, it stays icy cold from first sip to last—making it dangerously easy to drink.


Cool, classic, and a little bit country. Raise a mug of Left Bank and discover why the Kentucky Mule is our go-to cocktail when we want something bold, balanced, and undeniably refreshing.
