Watermelon Mule with IMPOSTER Tequila

Watermelon purée • ginger • agave-inspired

Red tequila Watermelon Mule over ice with a watermelon wedge on a dark wood table

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.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Fever Tree Ginger Beer
  • 2 oz IMPOSTER Tequila
  • 0.5 oz Watermelon Puree
  • Ice to fill the serving glass
  • Watermelon wedge, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the glass

Fill a mule glass or tall glass with fresh serving ice.

Step 2: Measure the ingredients

Measure 2 oz IMPOSTER Tequila, 0.5 oz Watermelon Puree into the glass and combine the still ingredients.

Step 3: Finish and serve

Finish by adding 3 oz Fever Tree Ginger Beer and stir gently. Keep carbonated ingredients out of the shaker.

Step 4: Finish and serve

Finish with watermelon wedge and serve promptly.

Why This Works With IMPOSTER Tequila

Tequila brings the agave-inspired base, purée supplies measured fruit, and ginger beer adds a spiced sparkling finish. Combining the still ingredients first distributes the purée without shaking the carbonated mixer.

Serving Notes

Blend the purée with Tequila before the ginger-beer pour.

Keep the wedge as a garnish; this version does not include muddled watermelon.

Variations and Substitutions

Without fresh fruit
