Mule

A mule is a mixed drink typically made with a spirit (such as vodka, rum, or whiskey), ginger beer, and lime juice. The most popular version of the mule is the Moscow Mule, which was invented in the 1940s.

There are many different recipes for mules, but the basic ingredients are always the same. The drink was originally created in the United States, and it has become popular all over the world.

The history of the mule is a bit unclear, but it is believed that the drink was first created in the early 1900s. It is said that the drink was invented by a man named John G. Martin, who owned a company that manufactured ginger beer.
