Method
Prep
- 1
Chill mug
Place a copper mule mug or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you assemble ingredients to chill it quickly.
- 2
Juice lime
If using fresh limes, roll one on the counter to loosen juices and measure 1/2 oz (about half a lime) of fresh lime juice.
Build the cocktail
- 3
- 4
Pour 2 oz vodka, 2 oz pineapple juice, and 1/2 oz fresh lime juice over the ice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add 1/4 oz simple syrup now.
- 5
Gently stir the vodka, pineapple juice, lime, and optional simple syrup with a bar spoon for 8–10 seconds to combine and chill without over-diluting.
- 6
Top with 4 oz ginger beer. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass if you want to preserve some fizz.
- 7
Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 turns) to marry the ginger beer with the juices without flattening the carbonation.
Garnish & Serve
- 8
Garnish the rim with a pineapple wedge and a lime wheel. Slap the mint sprig between your palms once and tuck it into the drink to release aroma (optional).
- 9
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Recommend enjoying cold; if desired, adjust sweetness by adding an additional 1/4 oz simple syrup.
