Gin Gin Mule, Downton Distillery, Lime, Cocktail

Gin Gin Mule

This gingery, minty wonder was originally created by Audrey Saunders as a gateway gin drink for vodka lovers. But over the years, the Gin-Gin Mule has become much more—a symbol of both the New York City cocktail renaissance and the generation of female bartending icons integral to it.

The Gin-Gin Mule was synonymous with Saunders’ beloved Pegu Club, which was a Manhattan institution before its heart-breaking closure in 2020.

If the Gin-Gin Mule’s build feels familiar, it’s because what you’re looking at is essentially a gin Mojito (Southside) with the addition of ginger beer. This cocktail was a staple at Pegu Club throughout the iconic New York City bar’s 15-year tenure, and it’s an easy modern classic sure to please any crowd.
