This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway. All opinions are 100% mine. Must be legal drinking age to enjoy, enjoy responsibly.

This Gingerbread Irish Mule is a holiday twist on a classic cocktail. Gingerbread spice syrup is mixed with whiskey and ginger beer for a festive drink to enjoy all holiday season.

What is an Irish Mule?

An Irish Mule is a twist on a Moscow Mule – but uses whiskey instead of vodka. I have several versions of the Irish Mule on my site, including the classic Irish Mule, an Apple Cider Irish Mule and a Cranberry Irish Mule.

However, to celebrate the season, I decided to go in a new flavor direction. The spices and flavors of gingerbread go so well with whiskey and ginger beer that it was a perfect fit.

I partnered with Safeway to use their award winning OWN Brands Signature RESERVE™ Whiskey and Signature SELECT™ Ginger beer. These are available exclusively at Safeway along with their Open Nature® and O Organics® and are such a great value.

Host a virtual cocktail hour

Why not host a virtual cocktail hour this holiday season? Mix up a batch of gingerbread syrup and drop off a Gingerbread Irish Mule kit to friends. It could include a bottle of gingerbread syrup, a 4-pack of Signature SELECT ginger beer, a bottle of Signature RESERVE Whiskey and even a few copper mugs if you really want to go all out.
