Vodka, spicy ginger beer, and fresh lime — served over crushed ice in a copper mug. Sharp, fizzy, and dangerously drinkable.

Ingredients

• 60 ml Vodka
• 120 ml Ginger beer
• Fresh lime × ½
• 2 sprigs Fresh mint
• 240 ml Crushed ice

Method

1. Pick your glass

   

   If you have copper mugs, use them — they keep the drink icy cold and look gorgeous. Otherwise a highball glass works.

2. Fill with crushed ice

   

   Fill with crushed ice to the brim.

3. Squeeze in half a lime

   

   Squeeze the juice from half a fresh lime directly into the mug.

4. Pour in 60ml of vodka

   

   Pour in 60ml of vodka.

5. Drop the spent lime shell

   

   Drop the spent lime shell into the drink for extra aromatic zing.

6. Top with Ginger Beer

   

   Slowly pour in cold, spicy ginger beer to fill the mug. Use a proper spicy ginger beer, not ginger ale — the bite is what makes the drink.

7. Stir & Garnish

   

   Give it a quick gentle stir to combine — don't kill the fizz. Slap the mint sprigs between your palms to release the oils, then tuck them into the ice.
