COLORADO MULE
- 2 oz. Ella Jones Bourbon Whiskey

Serve over ice and garnish with a lime wheel or candied ginger.
The Moscow Mule’s rebellious Western cousin—swapping vodka for bourbon and bringing the heat.
You know the Mule. You love the Mule. Now meet the Colorado version—where we ditch the vodka and let Ella Jones Bourbon Whiskey take the reins. Made with 100% Colorado grains (75% corn, 15% rye, 10% malted barley), our bourbon brings warmth, spice, and serious depth to the ginger beer’s fiery kick.
Fresh lime juice keeps it bright, ginger beer brings the fizz and spice, and bourbon makes it feel like home—whether that’s a front porch in the Rockies or your favorite barstool. It’s easy to make, impossible to mess up, and exactly what you want when you’re craving something refreshing with a little more backbone than your standard Mule.
Pour it in a copper mug if you’re feeling traditional, or literally any glass if you’re not. Either way, garnish with a lime wheel or candied ginger and enjoy the ride.
The Vibe: Classic comfort meets Colorado craft rebellion
The Occasion: Patio season, game day, or when you want a Mule with more moxie
The Move: Use a quality ginger beer—it makes all the difference
A simple twist on a beloved classic, elevated with grain-to-glass bourbon that actually tastes like something. Giddyup.
