Strawberry Honeysuckle Mule: A floral, ginger-forward twist on a classic mule

This mule is light, refreshing, and gently floral, with just enough ginger bite to keep it crisp. Using Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea as the base adds softness and natural sweetness, making this version feel more balanced and less sugary than a traditional mule.

It works beautifully as both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink, which makes it great for gatherings.

Why Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea Works Here

Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea has a delicate body that pairs well with ginger without getting lost. The strawberry brings subtle sweetness, while honeysuckle adds a floral lift that keeps the drink feeling fresh and springy, even in winter.

White tea keeps the mule light rather than heavy.
