Old Heidelberg’s A Dram for All Seasons.

Method: Add tequila, amaro and lime juice and ice to a copper mug. Top with Fever-Tree Blood Orange Ginger Beer and garnish with a fresh orange peel.

“I’m a big fan of the Mexican Mule and I wanted to find a way to add more character to an already great drink,” said Michael Bosco, Bartender Old Heidelberg. “The subtle spice of the Milagro Reposado with its caramel and vanilla notes plays nicely with the ginger, and the DeGroff New World Amaro brings warmth and complexity. Paired with the blood orange and lime, it’s a cocktail that sits smack between summer and fall—a dram for all seasons.”
