Equipment

  • Copper mug (or sturdy glass)
  • Muddler
  • Jigger or measuring spoons
  • Bar spoon or regular spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Cocktail shaker (optional)

Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz sweet potato puree not pie filling
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
  • 4 oz ginger beer
  • lime wedge for garnish
  • 3-4 fresh mint leaves for muddling and garnish
  • ice enough to fill mug or glass
  • ginger ale optional, lighter than ginger beer

Instructions

  • Toss mint leaves into the bottom of the mug or glass and muddle gently to release oils.
  • Add sweet potato puree, vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup.
  • Fill the mug all the way with ice.
  • Slowly pour in ginger beer (or ginger ale) so it doesn’t fizz over.
  • Give it a gentle stir.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and a fresh mint sprig.
  • Enjoy immediately while cold and fizzy.

Notes

Use real sweet potato puree, not pie filling. Add simple syrup for extra sweetness if desired. Copper mugs keep the drink icy cold. Try a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced twist. For a booze-free version, skip the vodka and add more ginger beer or ginger ale. Always use fresh mint and lime juice for the best flavor.
