A Blueberry Mule combines western son blueberry vodka in a zesty, gingery and refreshing mule. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.

Conventional recipe adapted from the Draftology keg specification by Craft Standard.
Substitutions
- Use ginger ale for a softer, sweeter drink, or a hot ginger beer for more bite.
Make a pitcher
- 14 oz Western Son Blueberry Vodka
- 4 oz fresh lime juice
- 24 oz (3 cups) ginger beer
For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.
Want to make it at scale?
Making one Blueberry Mule is straightforward. Making a full service means measuring, chilling and repeating that spec all night. The Craft Standard Mule keg keeps the same flavor direction, but moves the prep into one keg build so every serve comes from the tap.
