Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a copper mug or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice to cool while you assemble ingredients.
Combine base
In the chilled mug or a shaker, add 2 oz Tito's Vodka, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup.
Add ice
Fill the mug with crushed or cubed ice (about 1 cup).
Top with mixers
Pour 4 oz chilled ginger beer over the ice, then add 0.5 oz soda water to open the drink slightly and balance sweetness. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine — do not over-stir to keep the ginger beer effervescence.
Garnish & Serve
Optional: Make Simple Syrup
Combine and dissolve
Combine 0.5 cup granulated sugar and 0.5 cup water in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is clear. Do not boil vigorously.
Cool and store
Remove from heat, let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a sealed container. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Use 0.5 oz per cocktail as directed above.
