MEZCAL-STYLE MOCK MULE 🥃🔥
A deep, smoky, and cannabis-infused non-alcoholic mule that captures the rugged essence of mezcal. This recipe pairs a charred, woodsy "spirit" profile with the sharp, spicy burn of ginger and bright lime. Infused with cannabis elixir, it provides a grounded and warming experience with a lingering, adventurous finish.
RECIPE INFO:

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Beta-Caryophyllene or Myrcene. Caryophyllene mirrors the peppery, smoky notes of the mezcal spirit, while Myrcene adds an earthy depth that grounds the spice of the ginger.

INGREDIENTS:
* 20mg THC total cannabis-infused elixir
* 4 oz Non-alcoholic smoky spirit (Mezcal alternative)
* 1.5 oz fresh lime juice
* 8 oz spicy ginger beer (chilled)
* 2 dashes of orange bitters (non-alcoholic)
* Fresh ice (crushed is best)
* Garnish: Dehydrated lime wheel and a sprig of fresh rosemary
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Fill two copper mugs or rocks glasses with crushed ice.
* In a small pitcher or mixing glass, combine the non-alcoholic smoky spirit and fresh lime juice.
* Add the cannabis elixir (20mg total) and the orange bitters.
* Stir gently to integrate the elixir.
* Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared mugs.
* Top each mug with 4 oz of chilled spicy ginger beer.
* Give it one quick, gentle stir to lift the flavors without losing the carbonation.
* Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel and a sprig of rosemary. Pro tip: briefly torch the rosemary sprig for extra smoky aroma.
CHEF TIPS:
The Smoke Factor: If your non-alcoholic spirit isn't smoky enough, add a tiny drop of liquid smoke or a half-teaspoon of lapsang souchong tea concentrate.
Ginger Selection: Use a "extra spicy" or Jamaican-style ginger beer to ensure the heat stands up to the smoky notes of the spirit.
The Vessel: Copper mugs aren't just for looks; they keep the drink icy cold, which helps maintain the "bite" of the ginger and the clarity of the cannabis elixir.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Mezcal-Style Mock Mule responsibly 🥃🔥
