The Irish Mule is a relatively modern cocktail, inspired by the popularity of the Moscow Mule, which was created in the 1940s. As whiskey lovers sought to put their own spin on the classic, swapping vodka for Irish whiskey became a natural choice. The result? A drink that celebrates Ireland’s rich whiskey heritage, while maintaining the Mule's refreshing, gingery kick. It’s now a staple for St. Patrick’s Day festivities and a favorite on menus around the world.
