Cocktail

2 oz Tito's Vodka

1/2 oz Fresh lime juice

2 oz Cranberry juice (100% or cocktail, chilled)

4 oz Ginger beer (chilled)

6 leaves Fresh mint leaves

1 cup Ice (preferably crushed)

1 each Lime wheel or wedge (garnish)

3 each Fresh cranberries (optional garnish)

1 each bar spoon

1 each Jigger

1 each Muddler (optional)

Method

Prep & Build

Chill mug

Place the copper mug in the freezer for a few minutes or fill with ice water while you gather ingredients to get it nicely chilled.

Lightly slap 4–6 fresh mint leaves between your palms (or gently bruise with a muddler) to release aroma. Do not pulverize; you want aroma, not bitterness.

Discard ice water from the chilled mug if used and fill the mug about three-quarters full with crushed ice (or large ice cubes if crushed not available).

Add 2 oz Tito's Vodka, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 2 oz chilled cranberry juice directly over the ice in the copper mug.

Top with approximately 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Pour slowly to preserve carbonation and to leave a small head.

Gently fold the drink twice with a bar spoon (insert near the side of the mug and sweep down and up) to integrate ingredients without flattening the ginger beer.

Garnish & Serve

Nestle the slapped mint sprig on top of the ice for aroma. Optionally, add 1 lime wheel or wedge on the rim and 2–3 fresh cranberries skewered on a cocktail pick or dropped on top for color.

Serve immediately with a straw. Encourage the guest to stir gently before sipping to maintain balanced flavor as the ice melts.
