Notes
- To make it a mocktail: Instead of tequila add club soda and instead of the cointreau, use a splash of orange juice. Also ensure you’re using non-alcoholic ginger beer, but most in fact are spirit free!
- If you want to make this cocktail ahead of time, combine everything except for the ginger beer and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before serving, top with ginger beer and lime wedges.
- Do not use Ginger Ale instead of Ginger Beer. Ginger Beer is spicier and has a stronger flavor than Ginger Ale Soda. It's mild flavor will be lost in this drink.
