Who knows what our cocktail scene would be like if it weren’t for our world-class ski resort.
The Aprés scene in Jackson Hole is pretty on point. But look no further than The Handle Bar to find my favorite local drink: the Huckleberry Mule.
Huckleberries are indigenous to Jackson Hole and unlike it’s close relative, the blueberry, cannot be commercially farmed. So, most huckleberries are still picked by hand – a favorite activity by the locals during the summer season!
This wild fruit is immersed in the Jackson Hole food culture. You can find it in cocktails, pies, jams, steak sauce, and even its own Ice Cream flavor over at our local Ice Cream parlor, Moo’s.
Truly a local drink by definition, the Huckleberry Mule is a tart, but sweet drink and will certainly do the trick. Give it a shot… or better yet, a copper mug!
