Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Vodka
- 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 4–6 oz Ginger Beer
- Crushed Ice
- Lime Wheel (for garnish)
- Fresh Mint Sprig (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass or copper mug with crushed ice.
- Pour 2 oz of vodka over the ice.
- Squeeze 0.5 oz of fresh lime juice into the glass.
- Top with 4-6 oz of cold ginger beer, pouring slowly to preserve carbonation.
- Gently stir the mixture for 5-10 seconds to combine without losing bubbles.
- Garnish with a lime wheel and/or a sprig of mint.

Notes
Use cold ginger beer for best results. Do not freeze the drink as carbonation will expand. If making a batch for a party, mix vodka and lime juice in a pitcher and add ginger beer just before serving. Adjust sweetness by adding more lime or soda water.
