I can't take credit for this, I got the idea online. But it was a big hit at a party last summer with extra spicy fresh jalapeños from my garden!
Moscow Mule with a kick
- 6 oz. ginger beer
- 2 oz. vodka
- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- fresh jalapeño slices (see note)
Combine ingredients in a glass over ice, stir gently, garnish with slice of lime. Watch out, it gets spicier as you go!
Note: two slices per glass is sufficient, if you are looking for a lot of spice leave the seeds, to scale back remove them.

Also worth noting here that Ballast Point makes a habanero vodka, Fugu Habanero, that makes a lovely mule.

First of all thank you for this. Second, Is the vodka as good as their Habenero Sculpin?! I didn't even know they made spirits too. I thought it was just a brewery for some reason... That's what I get for not doing proper research I guess.

I can't say I've tried the Habanero Sculpin, only the Grapefruit. But the vodka is really really nice.
