Ingredients
Scale
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
4 oz spicy ginger beer (not ginger ale)
1-2 oz club soda, to taste
1 lime wheel, for garnish
1 mint sprig, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a copper mug with ice.
- Add the lime juice.
- Top with the ginger beer and club soda.
- Stir gently — just enough to combine without losing the fizz — and garnish with a lime wheel and mint sprig.
Notes
- Look for a ginger beer with real ginger and a good spicy kick (Fever-Tree, Reed’s, and Gosling’s are all solid choices) — it’s doing all the flavor work here.
- This is also great muddled with a slice of fresh ginger or a few mint leaves in the bottom of the mug before adding ice.
- Prep Time: 3 minutes
