Equipment

  • Copper mug
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Muddler
  • Bar spoon

  • Knife and cutting board
  • Ice scoop or tongs

Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4-6 oz ginger beer chilled
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 4-6 fresh mint leaves
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup optional, for sweetness
  • ice cubes
  • lime slice or wedge for garnish
  • extra mint sprig for garnish

Instructions

  • Drop the mint leaves into the bottom of your copper mug and gently press them with a muddler to release their oils.
  • Fill the mug halfway with ice cubes.
  • Pour in vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup if using.

  • Slowly top with chilled ginger beer.
  • Add more ice to fill up the mug if needed.

Notes

Serving this in a copper mug keeps the drink extra cold and adds to the classic experience. Adjust the amount of simple syrup to taste, and always use fresh lime juice and fresh mint for the best flavor.
