The Spicy Southern Mule

I've always been more of a whiskey fan than a vodka fan so any time I can take a drink that's traditionally vodka-based and use whiskey instead I'm game.

One vodka drink I actually do enjoy however is the Moscow Mule, which is normally made with vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. Just because I like it though doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy it even more with Southern Comfort Black….

With Southern Comfort being from New Orleans and a lot of the food from that area having a bit of a kick to it I figured that this drink could use some of that same kick as well, so I muddled a couple jalapeño slices in with the lime juice. Prior to making this drink I wasn't sure how well jalapeños and whiskey would even go together but I've gotta say, they pair pretty well!
