Mixed-Up Mules is a new range of craft premium canned cocktails from Little Toad Creek Distillery that reintroduces the classic Moscow Mule with a twist. Alongside the Classic Mule, there are other fresh and inspiring varieties to discover, including the mashed-up Mojito Mule, the well-balanced Watermelon Jalapeno Mule and the Gin & Grapefruit Mule.
While the Classic Mule is made with a base of vodka, other varieties in the range experiment with other spirit bases like rum and gin, plus agave nectar for a hint of sweetness. With no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, these cocktails make it easy to crack into bar-quality cocktails on-demand.
Each of these canned cocktails is packaged in a can with copper elements that references the way this classic cocktail is traditionally served.
