Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Fill a copper mule mug (or highball glass) about three-quarters full with cubed ice to chill the vessel.
Build the drink
Pour 2 oz vodka and 0.75 oz fresh lime juice into the chilled mug over the ice. If using, add 0.5 oz elderflower liqueur for a floral lift.
Top and stir
Top with 4 oz ginger beer. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine ingredients without flattening the ginger beer.
Garnish & Finish
Slap the mint sprig between your palms once to release aromatics and tuck it into the drink beside a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.
Serve immediately with a straw or short stirring spoon. For a BOGO special: prepare two identical mugs following the same steps and deliver together.
