If we take a closer look at the genesis of the Gin Gin Mule cocktail, we end up in the American metropolis of New York. In the Pegu Club, the now world-famous cocktail was developed by a bartender named Audrey Saunders 10 years ago. She also gave the drink the name. Many wonder why there is gin twice in the name, and the second gin refers to the Ginger Beer it contains. In addition to the gin, the popular Ginger Beer forms the basic basis of the Gin Gin Mule.
