    "content_text": "A mule runs on ginger, so sorrel and ginger takes the job easily. Swap half the ginger beer for a strong, chilled brew of Tropical Sun Sorrel and Ginger and you pick up a deep red colour and a tart, gingery edge. White rum keeps it light and summery; vodka makes it a more classic mule.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
