I first learned this cocktail during a Zoom cocktail making class one of my partners organized to keep us connected during COVID. I thought the idea of using a tea bag to infuse the tequila was so clever — and it really works. The result is a refreshing, slightly fruity twist on a classic mule that's easy to make and even easier to enjoy.
