Kicking Mule Recipe

By: Maxime Verrier, Bartender, HIMKOK, Oslo, Norway.

Recipe:

  • 1 1/3 ounces Bulleit bourbon
  • 1 ounce carrot juice (fresh if possible)
  • 1/3 ounces sugar syrup
  • 1/3 ounces lime juice
  • Fever-Tree ginger beer

Directions:

  1. In a metal mug, pour all of the ingredients, except the ginger beer.
  2. Fill the mug up with cubed ice and top with ginger beer.
  3. Give it a quick stir and serve.

Garnish:

A lime wheel and a carrot wheel.

Inspiration:

Inspired by one of our best seller cocktail at HIMKOK , the Beta Cocktail. It’s a vodka drink with the fresh ginger juice, fresh carrot juice, Aperol infused with horseradish, lemon and sugar. Kicking mule is an effective way to represent this drink with as little prep as possible, and with the Bourbon kick! Cheers.

Max Verrier is a 28-year old French bartender. At one time, he was a helicopter pilot in the U.S., until the fateful day he touched ground behind a bar in St. Tropez. That was eight years ago, when he held a cocktail shaker in his hand for the first time — and it has been there ever since. Max then spent the next few years bartending in various high-end restaurants, hotels and cocktail bars in France and London, teaching himself all that he knows today. One year ago, he received an incredible opportunity to go to Norway and be part of a new ambitious project — HIMKOK, the bar and distillery in Oslo where Max is currently mixing up his signature cocktails.
