1
Chill the mug (optional)
If you prefer a very cold drink, place the copper mug or highball glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before preparing the cocktail.
2
Fill with ice
Remove the mug from the freezer (if chilled) and fill it with cubed ice until nearly full. Using plenty of ice keeps the drink cold and prevents quick dilution.
3
Add spirits and citrus
Pour 2 oz vodka and 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lime juice over the ice. Add 0.25 oz simple syrup if you like a touch of extra sweetness; this is optional depending on how sweet your ginger beer is.
4
Top with ginger beer
Carefully pour 4 oz ginger beer into the mug. Pour gently to preserve carbonation and to layer the drink slightly above the spirits and lime.
5
Stir gently
Using a bar spoon or a long spoon, give the drink 2–3 gentle stirs to combine the vodka, lime, and ginger beer without flattening the fizz.
6
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel and an optional sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
