Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
If desired, place a copper mule mug or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before making the drink to get it nicely chilled.
Measure spirits and lime
Pour 2 oz Tito's Handmade Vodka over the ice. Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice (about half a lime) for brightness. If you prefer a less tart drink, reduce lime to 0.25 oz.
Top with ginger beer
Gently pour 4 oz ginger beer over the vodka and lime. Pour slowly to preserve carbonation.
Stir gently
Give the cocktail 2–3 gentle stirs with a bar spoon to combine flavors without flattening the ginger beer.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and an optional mint sprig tucked into the ice. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
