The Vin Vin Mule is a minty, bright, and incredibly refreshing play on the classic "Gin Gin Mule". By introducing California Junmai Rice Wine Vinegar into the mix, this cocktail gains a sophisticated depth and a clean, acidic snap that perfectly balances the spicy heat of ginger beer. Served over crushed ice in a metal cup, it is the ultimate thirst-quencher for warm summer afternoons.
