National Tequila Day 2013: How To Celebrate In NYC

Make A Mexican Mule

A spicier edition of the more common Moscow Mule, the Mexican Mule combines tequila with ginger and bitters to create a sharp, adventurous cocktail that enhances rather than dulls the tequila's flavor. If you're not one for mixing your own drinks, you can sit back and let a master mix it for you at Gemma in the Bowery Hotel. 1 1/2 oz Qui Platinum Extra-Añejo Tequila 3oz Golden Ginger 3 dashes of angostura bitters Orange Twist Add ice, shake it up, and strain your Mexican Mule into a mug. Garnish with the orange peel. Gemma at the Bowery Hotel, 335 Bowery [Photo via]
