Mocha Mule
Welcome to the dark side of the mule. The Mocha Mule is a bold, indulgent twist on the classic, blending the kick of tequila with the depth of coffee liqueur and a bittersweet whisper of chocolate. Topped with fiery Double Dutch Ginger Beer and finished with grated Montezuma dark chocolate, this cocktail delivers a flavour experience that's rich, warming, and wonderfully different.
Why We Love the Mocha Mule
The Mocha Mule takes the familiar mule format and flips it on its head. Midnight Oil Coffee Liqueur adds velvety richness, while tequila brings a bold base that keeps things punchy. Double Dutch Ginger Beer lifts the drink with fizz and spice, and two types of bitters — orange and Aztec chocolate — round it out with layered complexity and a little heat.
The final flourish? A generous grating of dark chocolate. It’s not just for looks — it adds aroma and a luxurious finish that lingers long after your last sip. It’s the kind of cocktail that turns heads and starts conversations — ideal for after-dinner sipping or as an indulgent winter warmer.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve in a mule mug filled with ice to keep everything cold and crisp.
- Top with fresh grated Montezuma dark chocolate for maximum aroma and a visually stunning finish.
- Pairs beautifully with rich desserts like chocolate torte, tiramisu, or spiced cake.
Top Tips
- Use quality bitters — the Aztec chocolate and orange combo brings essential depth and complexity.
- Chill your mug before serving for an extra-cold finish that contrasts beautifully with the warm flavours.
- Experiment with different chocolate garnishes: dark curls, shavings, or even a rim dusted in cocoa powder.
Spicy, sultry, and seriously sippable, the Mocha Mule is a cocktail that dares to be different. Whether you’re looking for a dessert in a glass or a winter drink with bite, this one delivers boldness with every pour.
