- Hey guys, Jamie Deen.
0:01
I'm still here in the bar. I love a good bar.
0:04
I'm with my friend Troy.
0:05
T-box is gonna take us through another drink
0:07
that we serve here at The Lady & Sons.
0:08
This is, everybody's had a a mule.
0:11
Everybody's familiar with a mule
0:13
and what the ingredients are.
0:14
There's Moscow mules,
0:15
there's all different kinds of mules.
0:16
Here in Savannah, especially particularly on this block,
0:19
this is called the Gibbons Range.
0:21
Thomas Gibbons built this range, this is named for him
0:25
from who knows how many years ago.
0:27
And our dining room, our private dining room downstairs
0:30
is called the Gibbons, it's Gibbons Hall.
0:33
So this is named after Gibbons
0:34
in honor of our block here in Savannah.
0:36
This is the Gibbons Mule.
0:39
I can drink 'em, but I can't make 'em.
0:40
T-box, what's in this drink, brother?
0:43
- So we use our Savannah bourbon.
0:46
It's a bourbon and honey Savannah bourbon.
0:49
They also make vodka here.
0:51
They are a great company,
0:53
they're very nice to work with for us.
0:56
They have a lot of really good products.
0:58
You could buy it locally, I know here in Savannah,
1:01
and throughout the state of Georgia.
1:02
I don't know about anywhere else,
1:04
but you should definitely look for it.
1:06
- That's the only bourbon made in Savannah, isn't it?
1:10
I know there's a vodka place here.
1:11
Y'all will have to Google that. I'm not sure.
1:13
- Well, they make the Savannah 88 bourbon
1:15
and they also have a sweet tea bourbon that's really good.
1:19
I don't know of any more
1:20
that still are making any bourbons here in Savannah.
1:26
But it's gonna have that.
1:28
We use prickly pear lime juice,
1:30
and just a little bit of ginger beer.
1:33
Some folks like this drink sweeter,
1:35
and we've used our homemade honey syrup,
1:38
but to me, that's just a little over the top.
1:40
But if you love a good, sweet, sweet drink
1:42
or you wanna kill that taste of the bourbon
1:44
just a little bit more, you could use that.
1:46
So we make this drink here in a mason jar
1:49
like many of our drinks at The Lady & Sons.
1:53
Just gonna take two ounces of our Savannah honey bourbon.
2:03
We also take our lime
2:05
and we squeeze this fresh into the actual drink.
2:11
And this ginger beer is kind of like ginger ale.
2:15
It does have a little bit of fizz to it.
2:17
So you don't want to shake this drink when you're making it,
2:20
but you definitely need to mix it back and forth.
2:23
So we just use a simple prickly pear syrup,
2:26
you can get just in a couple of different ways.
2:28
For us, this holds really well,
2:30
you just stick it in the refrigerator.
2:31
And we'll go through this bottle usually on a good Saturday.
2:33
So for me, I like the color, so the more, the better.
2:38
I'd say about an ounce to an ounce and a half.
2:41
But you want it to have that nice red color.
2:44
And then you want your ginger beer also
2:46
to give it that good flavor.
2:48
So you don't wanna underdo the ginger beer.
2:51
And with this, gonna toss it back and forth.
2:56
Make sure you get that mixed up.
2:58
But if you shake it, this shaker will shoot across the bar.
3:03
'cause it's got the carbonation, yep.
3:05
Carbonation, that's a good word, that's a $12 word.
3:09
I love the lime in it too. This looks great.
3:12
It looks like summertime in Savannah.
3:14
I'll tell you what, it is starting to warm up here,
3:15
and a nice cold drink like that on a day like today, delish.
3:21
- For years we did the Savannah mule.
3:24
It was such a good drink,
3:27
but we just needed to spruce it up a little bit.
3:29
We did use our Savannah vodka for that
3:31
and just used bitters,
3:34
but it had a distinct taste to it.
3:35
And we like this because it is just
3:37
it definitely screams Savannah.
3:40
Something that anyone in this building could dream.
3:43
- Including me? - Hell yeah, absolutely.
3:45
- Give me that straw.
3:47
Gibbons mule, y'all. Cheers!
3:58
Not too sweet, the prickly pear's really good.
4:00
The ginger beer is good too.
4:02
Y'all come down to Savannah
4:03
and give this a try on for size, the Gibbons mule.
4:07
I'm Jamie Deen. See y'all around the bar.
4:12
