Method
Prepare
- 1
Chill glass
Place a tall Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and water to chill while you prepare ingredients.
- 2
Measure
Measure vodka, fresh lime juice, and ginger syrup. Have ginger beer chilled and bitters ready.
Build the Cocktail
- 3
Discard the chilling ice/water from the glass if used. Fill the chilled tall glass about three-quarters full with crushed ice (about 1 cup).
- 4
Add 2 fl oz vodka, 0.75 fl oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 fl oz ginger syrup into the glass directly over the ice.
- 5
Add 2 dashes orange bitters and 1 dash Angostura bitters on top of the liquid.
- 6
Top with 4 fl oz chilled ginger beer. Stir gently twice with a bar spoon to combine ingredients without flattening the ginger beer.
Garnish & Finish
- 7
Thread a candied ginger piece (if using) onto a pick and rest it on the rim or float it on top of the ice.
- 8
Slap the mint lightly between your palms to release aroma and place the mint sprig beside the lime wheel against the inside of the glass for aroma and presentation.
- 9
Serve immediately with a straw. Encourage the drinker to stir gently before sipping to reincorporate settled syrup and bitters.
