Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice about half a lime
  • 4 –6 oz ginger beer
  • 1 cup ice cubes or crushed ice, for serving
  • 1 lime wedge for garnish
  • 1 sprig fresh mint for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a copper mug with ice cubes to the top.
  • Add vodka and freshly squeezed lime juice.
  • Top with cold ginger beer.
  • Gently stir the drink to combine.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy chilled.

Notes

Always use ginger beer, not ginger ale, for the best flavor.
Crushed ice chills the drink faster and keeps it colder longer.
Try flavored vodka (like citrus or ginger) for a fun twist.
For a mocktail version, skip the vodka and add more ginger beer.
