Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by filling a copper mug or a highball glass with ice to chill it.

  2. 2

    Add Bourbon

    Pour 2 oz of Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey over the ice in the glass.

  3. 3

    Squeeze Lime

    Cut the fresh lime in half and squeeze the juice of one half directly into the glass. You can add the other half as a garnish if desired.

  4. 4

    Add Ginger Beer

    Top off the drink with 4 oz of Barritts Ginger Beer, pouring it slowly to mix with the bourbon and lime juice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Take 8 fresh mint leaves, slap them between your hands to release their aroma, and add them to the drink as a garnish.

  6. 6

    Final Touch

    Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the fizz from the ginger beer.
