History

Created in 2023 by Stephen Curtin and shared via a comment on our Moscow Mule page: "Might I suggest an Irish Poteen variation... The Donegal Donkey. Donegal not just for the alliteration, but because Donegal was once famous for the quality of its Poteen."

Review

Poteen adds an appealing almost oily, new leather-like flavour to a Moscow Mule .
