Grab your aviator goggles and fire up the dirigible, this steampunk themed 5 O’Clock Friday Cocktail is the Mules Verne! When we received our bottle of Top Hat Provisions Top Hat Ginger Beer Concentrate (one of the best ginger beers out there and only has one artificial ingredient!), we wracked our brains trying to come up with a cocktail that wasn’t a mule. However, we kept coming back to mule type drinks and decided to just go with it.

You might be asking why we went with a steampunk theme for a mule. Well truth is, we were completely inspired by the Top Hat Ginger Beer label which has a gentleman in a top hat in front of a large gear. Its completely aesthetic but we thought it was a great excuse to bring out the geek in us! If you are feeling adventurous, you could cut your blood orange garnish in the shape of a gear (we tried but our orange was way too ripe) to make your cocktail a bit more themed.
