Prepare the Lightbulb

Start by selecting a suitable lightbulb for your cocktail. Make sure it is clean and free from any residue. You can choose a classic incandescent bulb or go for a more modern LED version. Just make sure it's a standard size that can hold your drink.

Mix the Mule

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and 4 ounces of ginger beer. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.

Strain into the Lightbulb

Carefully remove the top of the lightbulb, ensuring no sharp edges are present. Using a fine-mesh strainer, pour the shaken mixture into the lightbulb, leaving a little space at the top. Discard any ice remaining in the shaker.

Garnish and Serve

Gently place a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel into the lightbulb, making sure they are visible through the glass. Carefully screw the top back onto the lightbulb, ensuring it is secure. Serve your Lightbulb Mule on a coaster or small plate to catch any drips.

Illuminate and Enjoy

Now for the fun part! Insert a small LED light or fairy lights into the lightbulb, turning it on to create an eye-catching glow. Sip your Lightbulb Mule slowly and enjoy the refreshing twist on a classic cocktail.
