History
The Tennessee Berry Mule was adapted in 2003 from a recipe created by London bartender Alex Kammerling for the TGI Fridays restaurant chain in the UK. It uses Tennessee whiskey in place of vodka and adds amaretto, muddled raspberries and cranberry juice to the ginger beer base for a fruitier, sweeter profile. It belongs to the Mule family of spirit-and-ginger-beer highballs named after the Moscow Mule.
