Drink

2 oz Wheatley vodka (or high-quality vodka)1/2 oz Fresh lime juice4 oz Ginger beer (chilled, spicy preferred)1 cup Ice (cubed)

Garnish

1 piece Lime wedge or wheel1 sprig Fresh mint sprig (optional)

Serveware

1 piece Copper mule mug (or highball glass)

Method

Prepare & Build

Chill mug

Place the copper mug in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water for 1–2 minutes then discard. A very cold mug keeps the cocktail crisp.

Fill the chilled mule mug about 2/3 full with fresh cubed ice (approximately 1 cup). This chills and dilutes the drink properly.

Pour 2 oz Wheatley vodka over the ice.

Add 1/2 oz (about 15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice. For best flavor, roll the lime on the counter to loosen juices, then cut and squeeze.

Top with approximately 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Pour gently so it retains carbonation.

Stir gently with a bar spoon or a short stirrer 4–6 times to combine without flattening the ginger beer.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim. If using, slap the mint sprig once between your palms to release aromatics and tuck it beside the lime (optional).

Serve immediately with a short straw. Encourage the drinker to sip from the mug to enjoy the chilled copper and effervescence.
