The Zero-Proof Mule keeps ginger beer and lime from the Moscow Mule and omits vodka. Spicy ginger and citrus still define the highball. Served in a copper mug or highball, it is an easy zero-proof swap for mule drinkers.

Bartender's Note
Use a spicy ginger beer. A splash of soda lightens overly sweet brands.
