Kentucky Mule with Ale-8-One: Kentucky Derby Party Cocktails

JC’s note: The Kentucky Mule is a take on the ever-popular Moscow Mule. The secret? Subbing bourbon for vodka (which, as we all know here in the Bluegrass State, is superior). My Kentucky Mule is nontraditional in that I also sub Ale-8-One in place of Ginger Beer to give it an extra kick of Kentucky flavor!

About Ale-8-One

Launched in July of 1926, Ale-8-One is the only Kentucky-invented soft drink still in existence. It was invented by G. L. Wainscott and was named via one of America’s first slogan contests at the Clark County Fair. “A Late One” – the winning entry – was a pun adopted for its witty description. From that, a Kentucky legacy transpired.

Be sure to pick up the Derby-themed pack of Ale-8 at your local store!

Enjoy + cheers, y’all!

Y’all come back now, ya hear?

My best,

JC
