Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
- 3
Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice.
- 4
Strain the shaken mix over the ice into the prepared glass using a fine strainer to remove any pulp or ice shards.
- 5
Top gently with 3 oz ginger beer, pouring slowly to preserve carbonation. Stir once gently with a bar spoon to integrate.

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top; allow them to swirl lightly into the foam for aroma and depth.
