The ‘Merican Mule Fire Mule canned cocktail is a new offering from the Connecticut-based brand that will offer consumer with a penchant for high-quality libations with an easy option that can be enjoyed from home without having to do any manual mixing.

The cocktail is made with Bourbon whiskey along with the brand's proprietary [ginger beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiced-rum-ginger-beer) that has been spiced up further with a touch of cinnamon. This makes the cocktail perfect for enjoyment this holiday season and throughout the cold winter months as consumers seek out indulgent libations with a more substantial flavor profile.

CEO Dean Mahoney spoke on the new ‘Merican Mule Fire Mule canned cocktail saying, "At ‘Merican Mule, we’re all about reinventing the classics (classic cocktails, that is!). We launched out of the pursuit of our very own ‘Merican Dream and truly believe the sky’s the limit when it comes to our top-notch, bartender-quality Mules. When thinking about our next Mule flavor, we knew instantly that a [cinnamon whiskey cocktail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-espresso-martini) was a must for the upcoming season. We cannot wait to kick 2020 aside and welcome 2021 with our new Fire Mule alongside our customers!”
