Units
Scale
- 1/2 mug crushed ice
- 6-7 oz ginger beer
- 2 oz vodka
- 1/2 lime juice
- 1-2 sprigs fresh mint (for garnish)
Instructions
- Fill a copper mug half full of crushed ice
- Pour 6-7 ounces of ginger beer over ice
- Add 2 oz of vodka to ginger beer
- Squeeze the juice of half a lime into copper mug and stir
- Garnish with 1-2 sprigs of fresh mint
Notes
- As noted in my taste test, I prefer Fever Tree ginger beer.
- For an extra kick of flavor, you can muddle the mint and add some to the bottom of the copper mug. This will enhance the spicy flavor.
- I do not recommend using a cocktail shaker to mix this drink since the ginger beer is carbonated and will likely explode on you.
- You can use regular ginger beer or diet for a lower calorie option.
- I ordinarily use plain vodka but you can definitely experiment with flavored options.
- For a sweeter version you can add a splash of simple syrup
