Ginger ale is always a good mix because of the flavor, some don&#8217;t like it but it&#8217;s one of my favorites. The dragon berry rum all garnished up with a splash of ginger ale tastes slightly like an actual mule, surprisingly. On the hangover scale, I&#8217;d give it a 2\/5. It isn&#8217;t the most lethal beverage, the garnish really balances out the booze and it is somewhat refreshing. A solid taste and a decent makeshift mule. As always, drink responsibly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moscow has a mule, Mexico has a mule, and finally- Whitewater has it&#8217;s own.
