There's really only two places I like a little heat. My chocolate and my cocktails! This yummy Mexican Mule recipe with Jalapeno is easy to make and delicious to drink! It's one of my favorite Moscow Mule recipes to make when the weather turns warm. Make this Mexican Mule cocktail for your next party or happy hour! It's as delicious as your favorite Moscow Mule but uses tequila, jalapeno and ginger to give it a spicy twist! Have I got a drink for you! It seemed like all of a sudden, Moscow Mules got super trendy and were on every cocktail menu. I totally get it. They're super tasty and refreshing and really easy to make at home. So I started trying out all kinds of different versions like this Bourbon Moscow Mule. I quickly knew that I needed to try one with tequila, a Mexican Mule if you please, and was not disappointed! It's such a great twist on the classic recipe. I don't love spicy foods, but there is something amazing about a cocktail with a little bit of a spicy kick so I came up with this spicy Mexican Mule Recipe to share with you! 

Delicious! Try this spicy Mexican Mule! It's a great cocktail idea for Cinco de Mayo! To give this Mexican Mule Recipe its spice, you'll need fresh ginger and jalapeno. But use caution. Everyone knows that jalapeno can burn your face off thanks to its devil seeds. The ginger also adds a nice fire to this drink. Ginger beer, lime juice and bitters are consistent with the original recipe but the tequila and triple sec bring this cocktail south of the border. Ole.Make a spicy Mexican Mule for your next happy hour! This tequila version of the Moscow Mule is a great summer drink! DO NOT CUT YOUR JALAPENO AND THEN RUB YOUR EYES! Or touch your nose. Having allergies truly sucks and my constantly runny nose really tried to ruin me with some jalapeno hands and a flimsy tissue. Don't be me. Be smarter. Maybe even wear gloves. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now that we've talked safety we can start making the drink. Muddle a few slices of jalapeno (without seeds if you are a sissy like me) and a few slices of fresh ginger. Release those fragrant and spicy juices and oils. Jalapeno and fresh ginger give this Mexican Mule cocktail a spicy kick! It's a great twist on the classic Moscow Mule. Add your fresh lime juice, tequila and Triple Sec (and agave syrup if you need it.)Yum! Save this spicy Mexican Mule recipe for when you are feeling daring! Kick your cocktail up a notch with a little jalapeno! Add a glass full of ice, top with ginger beer and a few dashes of bitters. I used to think that it was ok to skip the bitters but it's not. It adds a richness to the drink that is wonderful. It's like Worcestershire Sauce but for cocktails. I spelled that right on the first try…Boom.If you love Moscow Mules, you'll love this spicy Mexican Mule version! Jalapeno and ginger give it a wonderful kick! This is spicy. But you can make it even more spicy if you're in to that kind of personal torture by adding more jalapeno (with seeds) and even more ginger. But why would you?? I accidentally had jalapeno ranch dressing for lunch today (accidentally because I didn't read that on the package of the salad kit but, seriously, who would put jalapenos in ranch dressing? It's just mean) and my stomach is literally on fire. So I'm good with this lightly spicy Mexican Mule Recipe with jalapeno.
A Jalapeno Mexican Mule recipe for your next taco night! This cocktail recipe is perfect for Mexican themed fiestas, Cinco de Mayo or any old happy hour! Garnish with more jalapeno and a sprig of cilantro because it smells really good as you bring the drink up to your face hole. A Moscow Mule is so five minutes ago. Mix up this Mexican Mule Recipe and dazzle your friends. They'll love it! I literally just hesitated scratching my eye from even talking about jalapeno and I didn't even make this drink today. Drink at your own risk! But do drink one!

I didn’t know I was a truck girl. But I’m totally a truck girl. @chevrolet loaned us a 2019 Silverado for the week and my whole family is in love. It takes forever to get anywhere though. Every time we park the boys take a few minutes to exert their dominance over the parking lot (see my stories). The Silverado is going on all of our Christmas lists. 🙌🏻🎄🙏 #Silverado #chevrolet #chevroletsilverado

Need a family activity to do while you wait for the turkey? Interview your family! sponsored ⠀ A few months ago I headed to the @gpneighborhoods to interview my best friend with @storiesfromtheoc and @storycorps. The conversation is archived in the Library of Congress. And now you can record interviews with the Story Corps app from your own home! It's the perfect Thanksgiving activity! You can talk about any topic you want but I love the idea of talking about how family traditions got started. Use the links in my bio to find the Story Corps app and hear my recording! #StoriesFromtheOC #StoryCorps
