The Tennessee Mule is a modern riff on the iconic Moscow Mule, which first appeared in the 1940s in Los Angeles. As American whiskey culture boomed, creative bartenders began experimenting with regional spirits. By swapping vodka with Tennessee whiskey, the Mule gained a bolder, sweeter backbone—thanks to the whiskey’s signature charcoal mellowing process. Today, the Tennessee Mule is a staple in bars across the South and beyond, celebrated for its approachable, crowd-pleasing flavor.
