Method
Prepare glass (optional smoked salt rim)
- 1
Build the Copper Mug Worthy
- 2
Fill the prepared copper mug about three-quarters full with crushed ice.
- 3
Pour 2 oz vodka and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice into a mixing glass or directly into the mug. Add 0.25 oz simple syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness (adjust to taste).
- 4
Top with about 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Gently stir once or twice with a long bar spoon to combine—avoid over-stirring to keep the ginger beer fizzy.
- 5
Taste and adjust: if the drink is too tart, add another 0.25 oz simple syrup; if too flat, add a splash more ginger beer.
- 6
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and slap the mint sprig lightly between your palms to release oils, then nestle it into the ice beside the lime.
