Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rim a copper mug by dipping the rim in 0.75 oz lime juice, then rolling it in a mixture of 1/2 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated and slightly sticky.
  2. Step 2: In a shaker, combine 1.5 oz vodka, 0.75 oz fresh ginger syrup, and 0.75 oz lime juice. Add 1 large ice cube and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and the mixture is well-chilled.
  3. Step 3: Strain into the prepared copper mug filled with fresh ice, top with 3 oz ginger beer, and gently stir with a bar spoon until the ginger beer is fully integrated and the drink shows light bubbles on the surface.
