Sailor Jerry Mule history: what do we know?

We have not found a documented history behind the Sailor Jerry Mule itself, and we do not guess who made it. What we can say something about is the mule as a drink and the rum.

According to Wikipedia the Moscow Mule came about in 1941, by the traditional account at the Chatham Hotel in New York, where ginger beer and Smirnoff vodka met. Since then the name has been used for all kinds of variations, and Wikipedia mentions, among others, the Jamaican mule with spiced rum.

Mule variations: vodka, rum and whiskey

 Ours / Moscow Mule according to Wikipedia
Spirit4 cl Sailor Jerry (spiced rum) / 45 ml vodka
Lime2 cl / 10 ml
Ginger beerTop up / 120 ml
GarnishNone given / Lime slice

Wikipedia also mentions the Mexican mule (tequila), the Kentucky mule (bourbon) and the Jamaican mule (spiced rum). If you want to try the classic, see our Moscow Mule.

About Sailor Jerry rum

The rum is named after Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, born in 1911, a former navy sailor and tattoo artist on Hotel Street in Honolulu, according to Cocktails and Bars. His protégés Ed Hardy and Mike Malone formed Sailor Jerry Ltd. in 1999 together with a clothing company in Philadelphia, and the company owns his art. According to Tasting Table the rum was launched in the 1990s and is distilled by William Grant & Sons in the U.S. Virgin Islands. You can buy Sailor Jerry Spiced from us.

Tips for your Sailor Jerry Mule

Use cold ingredients and plenty of ice. Pressed lime tastes best, so use a lime squeezer. Choose a sharp ginger beer, for example Fentimans Ginger Beer. You will find more ginger beer and ale under ginger beer and ale.

Our verdict on the Sailor Jerry Mule

It is a simple drink where the spices in the rum do the work. Cinnamon, clove and vanilla go well with ginger beer and lime. It is a little sweeter than a classic Moscow Mule, so use a sharp ginger beer.
