The Kentucky Mule substitutes bourbon for vodka, hence the “Kentucky” moniker. The weightier profile of bourbon cuts through the ginger more noticably than vodka, resulting in a more flavorful drink than the original.
For the best results, use a high-quality ginger beer with a spicier flavor profile that can better stand up to the whiskey.
Recommended glassware: Copper mug
