Notes

The copper mug keeps the drink extra cold and enhances the taste.
Fresh ginger works better than powdered ginger for this recipe.
Store leftover ginger root in the freezer to keep it fresh longer.
For a non-alcoholic version, use club soda instead of vodka.
Chill the copper mug in the freezer for 15 minutes before making the drink.
