Method

Cocktail

1

Chill mug

If using a copper mule mug, place it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and let sit for 1 minute, then discard that ice. Chilling the mug helps keep the cocktail cold and crisp.

2

Add ice

Fill the chilled mule mug or a highball glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes (approximately 1 cup).

3

Add spirits and lime

Pour 2 oz vodka over the ice. Add 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice. Fresh juice provides the best bright flavor; squeeze from about half a lime.

4

Top with ginger beer

Carefully top the drink with about 4 oz ginger beer. Pour gently to preserve carbonation and to allow a gentle mixing of ingredients.

5

Stir gently

Use a bar spoon or a straw to stir the cocktail once or twice from top to bottom to combine vodka, lime and ginger beer without flattening the fizz.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and, if desired, a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
