Our aquavit mule is a unique variation of the classic Moscow Mule. The infusions are simple to make and don’t worry about making the jalapeño too spicy. You can always dilute it to your liking with more Batch 22.

Instructions

• Make the jalapeño infusion:
• Thick slice one medium jalapeño (with seeds) and steep in 1/2 cup of Batch 22 Classic Gold aquavit for minimum 2 hours. Strain before use.
• Make the cucumber infusion:
• Peel half a medium cucumber, slice in half, then slice thin into pieces. Steep in 1 cup Batch 22 for minimum 2 hours. Strain before use.
• For the Mule:
• 1 1/2 oz. jalapeño-infused Batch 22 aquavit
• 1/2 oz. cucumber-infused Batch 22 aquavit
• 3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar simple syrup
• Lime seltzer
• Combine all ingredients (except seltzer) in a mule glass (or mug). Stir and add ice. Top with seltzer and stir gently.
