The Montenegro Mule is a refreshing and unique twist on the classic Moscow Mule cocktail. It combines the herbaceous flavors of Amaro Montenegro, the spiciness of Fever Tree Ginger Beer, and the tartness of lime juice. The result is a perfectly balanced and delicious drink that is sure to impress your guests.
To make a Montenegro Mule, you will need the following ingredients:
– 30ml Amaro Montenegro: Amaro Montenegro is a bittersweet Italian liqueur that is made from a blend of 40 different herbs and spices. It has a complex and rich flavor profile, with notes of orange peel, vanilla, and floral undertones. The addition of Amaro Montenegro adds depth and complexity to the Montenegro Mule, making it a truly unique cocktail.
– 80ml Fever Tree Ginger Beer: Fever Tree Ginger Beer is known for its high-quality ingredients and superior taste. It has a bold and spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with the herbal notes of Amaro Montenegro. The ginger beer adds a refreshing fizziness to the drink and enhances the overall flavor profile.
– 10ml Lime Juice: The lime juice adds a citrusy and tangy element to the Montenegro Mule. It balances out the sweetness of the Amaro Montenegro and complements the spiciness of the ginger beer. Freshly squeezed lime juice is recommended for the best flavor.
To make the Montenegro Mule, follow these simple steps:
1. Fill a copper mug or glass with ice. The copper mug is traditional for serving a Moscow Mule, but any glass will work just fine.
2. Pour in 30ml of Amaro Montenegro. The herbal and bittersweet flavors of the liqueur will be the base of the cocktail.
3. Add 10ml of lime juice. The lime juice will add a refreshing tartness to the drink.
4. Top the glass with 80ml of Fever Tree Ginger Beer. The spicy ginger beer will add a kick to the cocktail and give it a fizzy texture.
5. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together. Use a bar spoon or a long-handled spoon to stir the drink until well combined.
6. Garnish with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint, if desired. This will add a touch of freshness and make the Montenegro Mule visually appealing.
7. Enjoy your Montenegro Mule! Sip and savor the unique combination of flavors, letting the bittersweetness of the Amaro Montenegro and the spiciness of the ginger beer mingle on your palate.
