The Grapefruit Mule was created by Los Angeles Bartender Aaron Polsky and i don’t have a year for this one. Polsky is the bar manager (2019) at Los Angeles high volume cocktail bar Harvard And Stone. For my money this drink is more a reconstruction of a Buck than a Mule but really those two drinks get confused together so often I’m not sure it really matters at this point. It is a very refreshing, layered drink which absolutely adds something to the conversation and is worth everyone’s time and consideration. A very good example of reconstructing an older drink template into something refreshing and new.
