Mephistopheles is a spicy vodka mule with lime, honey syrup, and ginger beer, crisp and refreshing with a measured chili kick.

More

Mephistopheles is a mule with a deliberate edge. Chili Vodka sets a measured warmth, lime brings precision, and honey syrup softens the contour. Finished with ginger beer, it stays bright, structured, and quietly addictive.

Ingredients

1.5 oz Chili Vodka

0.75 oz honey syrup

0.5 oz fresh lime juice

ginger beer (to top)

Garnish: mint bouquet and a dried chili

How to Make It

1. Fill a tall glass with ice.

2. Add Chili Vodka, honey syrup, and fresh lime juice.

3. Stir briefly to combine and chill.

4. Top with ginger beer.

5. Garnish with a mint bouquet and a dried chili.

Pro Tips

Why Chili Vodka works here: the heat stays clean and aromatic in a long drink, so the ginger beer and lime still feel crisp instead of getting buried.

Honey syrup texture: if using a 1:1 honey syrup, it integrates fast and keeps the finish smooth.

Heat control: choose a spicier ginger beer for more bite, or a milder one to let the chili lead.
