This is a fierce and fresh alternative to the traditional Moscow Mule. Cheers!
“You see a taco!”
“I see a cocktail!”
“A taco? A cocktail? Let’s call the whole thing…” I’ll stop singing now.
Let’s just mix that cocktail. 
I love a spicy margarita and I also love a Moscow Mule. I thought it would be fun to combine the two and make a fiery new drink that my honey and I could enjoy.
Meet the Spicy Mexican Mule! It’s pretty fabulous!
I added the vodka and triple sec to the copper mug and topped it with the fresh cilantro, jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime. After a little muddling, I added the ginger beer. 
The robust bite of the ginger beer pairs so nicely with the spicy jalapeño and fresh cilantro. 
Not to mention, the drink is so appealing in the copper mug. 
Try this cocktail with my Quinoa Fish Taco Bowls or Butternut Squash Fajita Salad with Chunky Guacamole.
Do you have an alternative drink recipe to the traditional Moscow Mule?

HOLY YUM! This looks absolutely delish! One of my favorite cocktails is a jalapeno margarita so I cant wait to try this!
You’ll love it then! Cheers!
This looks so good. Im probably going to try it without the spicy. Haha. Im definitely pinning for later.
It will still be tasty without the spice! Enjoy!
Looks like the perfect drink to pair with taco night! I love the mule drinks with vodka, ginger beer and fresh ingredients. yum
Perfect taco cocktail!
I think that my husband would love this!! I just recently had my first Moscow Mule, and it was so tasty!
I love Mules! Hope your hubs enjoys this one!!
Interesting! Never would have thought of adding a kick to a mule..haha sounds crazy delish!
Thanks! It is crazy delish! Fun too!
Good lord! If I was a drinker of anything but wine, I’d be all over this. Jalepenos are my weakness! Haha.
Maybe you’ll switch it up and try it!? I’m a wino too but I like to change it up sometimes!
Yum! This is totally my kind of cocktail!
Awesome! Thanks!
The drink is wonderful and pretty sure everyone would enjoy drinking it. Those copper cups are what I want right now. Love the look of them.
Thank you! Copper mugs are really fun to have!
This sounds and looks yummy! I’d probably skip the cilantro and leave the jalapeno seeds in. I love the spice!
This looks so refreshing and delicious! Can’t wait to try it out, I’m always looking for new beverage recipes. Thanks!
Thanks, Julie! The cilantro and jalapeño were so fun in this!
