Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Vodka
  • 1 ounce Fresh Lime Juice (juice of half a lime)
  • 4 to 6 ounces Ginger Beer
  • Ice (enough to fill the mug)
  • Garnishes: Lime wedge, fresh mint sprig or candied ginger

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Collect vodka, fresh lime juice, ginger beer, ice, and a copper mug or a highball glass for serving.
  2. Fill the Mug with Ice: Fill your copper mug generously with ice to keep the cocktail refreshingly cold.
  3. Add Vodka and Lime Juice: Pour 2 ounces of vodka over the ice, followed by 1 ounce of fresh lime juice for that essential citrus kick.
  4. Top with Ginger Beer: Fill the mug the rest of the way with 4 to 6 ounces of ginger beer, adjusting to taste preference.
  5. Stir Gently: Use a bar spoon to gently stir the drink, mixing ingredients without diluting the carbonation.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Add a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint or candied ginger to finish and enhance presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the brightest and most natural citrus flavor.
  • Choose a ginger beer with a bold, spicy profile for maximum flavor impact.
  • Chill your mugs or glasses beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.
  • If your ginger beer is very spicy, add a touch of simple syrup to balance the flavors.
  • For an aromatic twist, gently muddle fresh mint leaves before adding them as garnish.
