Watermelon Mule with IMPOSTER Tequila
Watermelon purée • ginger • agave-inspired

Watermelon Mule uses a measured purée rather than muddled fresh watermelon. That makes the half-ounce fruit component distinct from the Mexican Watermelon Mule, whose supplied fruit quantity is not specified. IMPOSTER Tequila and Fever-Tree Ginger Beer complete this shorter ingredient list. Mix the purée with Tequila before adding ginger beer over serving ice, then finish with a watermelon wedge. It is a useful summer-menu option when you want fruit without preparing a muddled or grilled ingredient. The wedge is a garnish; adding its flesh to the drink changes the measured purée-based formula rather than merely finishing the glass.
