Moscow Mule

Most non-alcoholic mules are mixed like a soft drink. This one is brewed. Athletic makes it on the same non-alcoholic brewing setup behind its beer, starting from water, malted barley, wheat and hops, then leaning hard on ginger for heat. The result reads more like a crisp wheat beer wearing a mule costume than a ginger soda, which is the whole idea. Expect zippy lime on the nose, warm ginger through the middle, and a dry finish that clears out fast. Each 12 ounce can carries 70 calories and 13 grams of carbohydrates, and it ships in four packs. Cold and straight from the can works fine. For the full effect, pour it over ice in a copper mug and add a lime wedge. It stands up to spicy food and makes an easy all night drink at a party.
