A friend gave me a bottle of Knob Creek recently and being as it’s after Labor Day and time for dark liquor drinks, I had to make a Kentucky Mule. The ingredients are pretty basic, Knob Creek, lime juice, fresh mint, ice and ginger beer. But, you have to have a copper cup…I love the condensation on the outside of the cup…and it just tastes better!
