Watermelon is one of the most enjoyed fruit during summers. And making a refreshing watermelon mule out of it certainly pampers your taste buds with a heavenly treat. It serves as a perfect blend of freshness, taste, and aroma, altogether.
Mule is the word used for drinks that have ginger beer as a basic ingredient. This is a popular summer drink from Moscow mules that gives a soothing effect, with a strong kick that comes from the Gin.
