Method
Cocktail
Chill & prepare glass
If you like a cold presentation, place a copper mule mug or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice while you prepare ingredients and discard before building the drink. Gather Ketel One vodka, fresh limes, ginger beer, and optional simple syrup and mint.
Build the drink
Fill the chilled mug or glass with fresh ice cubes (about 1 cup). Pour 2 oz Ketel One Vodka over the ice, then add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter mule, add 0.25 oz simple syrup.
Top and stir
Top the cocktail with 4 oz ginger beer. Using a bar spoon, gently stir 6–8 full rotations to combine ingredients without removing carbonation from the ginger beer.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and optionally a sprig of fresh mint tucked beside the lime. Serve immediately with a short straw if desired.
