Brooklyn Burro: A Tropical Mule

Brooklyn Burro tropical mule by Leyenda

Leyenda’s take on the Moscow Mule.

When Ivy Mix and Tom Macy were creating the opening menu of Leyenda in Brooklyn, they “were looking for a simple mule that fit the Leyenda vibe because the Moscow Mule at Clover Club was such a hit,” Mix recalls. And their Brooklyn Burro—a tropical mule combining white rum, pineapple, ginger, lime, and bitters—not only spotlights Leyenda’s Latin-inspired style, but has since become one of the bar’s best sellers.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. white rum (Leyenda uses Planteray 3 Stars)
  • 1/2 oz. pineapple juice
  • 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz. ginger syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 oz. soda water
  • Tools:shaker, strainer
  • Glass:rocks
  • Garnish:ginger candy and lime wheel

Preparation

Add the ingredients, except the soda water, to a shaker with ice. Shake to chill and strain into the glass. Top with the soda water and garnish.

Ginger Syrup (Makes 6 oz.)In a juice extractor, juice the ginger to yield 4 oz (ginger does not have to be peeled). Combine the juice and sugar in a saucepan over low heat; stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat immediately, allow to cool, and then bottle. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
