Ingredients

Cocktail
  • 2 oz cold vodka we like to use Smirnoff or Titos (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 oz lime juice fresh is best (about 1 Tbsp)
  • 4 oz cold ginger beer we like to use Fever-Tree or Reed's (about 1/2 cup)
To serve
  • ice we like to use nugget-style ice, but crushed also works well
  • Lime slices for garnish
  • fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a copper mug (or other glass) with ice.
  2. Pour in the vodka, then lime juice, then ginger beer.
  3. You can drink it as is, or give it a gentle stir.
  4. Garnish if desired, and serve ice cold.

Notes

  • Large batch:
  • This recipe makes enough for one cocktail, but can easily be scaled up for as many cocktails as you'd like.
  • For an even frostier drink, chill your copper mugs before making the cocktail.
  • I don't recommend making a large batch with the ginger beer, because any carbonation will be gone.
  • However you can mix up a large batch (however many drinks you want, multiply the ingredient amount by that number), of the vodka and lime juice.
  • Stir it well, then cover and chill for several hours, or up to 2 days.
  • When ready to serve, pour 2.5 oz of the mixture into a mug filled with ice, and then pour in 4 oz ginger beer.
