Cocktail

2 oz vodka

1/2 oz Fresh lime juice

4 oz Ginger beer

1 cup ice (cubed)

1 piece lime wedge

1 slice candied or fresh ginger (optional)

1 sprig mint sprig (optional)

Equipment

1 piece copper mug or highball glass

1 piece bar spoon

1 piece juicer (hand or reamer)

1 piece measuring jigger

Method

Cocktail

Chill mug

If possible, place a copper mug or the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before assembling to keep the drink cold longer.

Add ice

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

Measure and pour vodka

Using a jigger, measure 2 oz vodka and pour it over the ice.

Add lime juice

Juice half a lime (about 0.5 oz) directly into the mug. If you prefer tarter, use a little extra lime to taste.

Top with ginger beer

Slowly top the drink with 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Pour gently to preserve carbonation.

Stir gently

Use a bar spoon to gently stir the drink 4–6 times to combine vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer without flattening it.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim. Optionally add a slice of candied or fresh ginger and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately while very cold.

Equipment

Use the juicer/reamer to extract fresh lime juice and a jigger to measure the vodka. Serve in the chilled copper mug or highball glass, and stir with the bar spoon.
