Instructions
  1. 1

    Ice the mug

    Grab a copper mug (or any rocks glass — same drink either way) and fill it all the way up with ice. The copper makes it feel colder, which is honestly half the fun.

  1. 2

    Pour the vodka and lime

    Add the vodka and the freshly squeezed lime juice. Squeeze the lime fresh — bottled lime juice will sink this drink before it starts.

  2. 3

    Top with ginger beer

    Pour in the ginger beer slowly so it doesn't fizz over. Give it one gentle stir with a spoon — that's it, you don't want to kill the carbonation.

  3. 4

    Garnish and sip

    Drop in a lime wedge (and a sprig of mint if you want to get fancy). Drink it cold and don't overthink it.

Notes & Tips

The ratio here is the whole game: 2 vodka, 1/2 lime, 4 ginger beer. Hits every time. Go with a real spicy ginger beer (Fever-Tree or Bundaberg) — sweet ginger ale will give you a sad, flat version of this drink. Mocktail swap: skip the vodka and add another ounce of ginger beer plus a splash of soda water — still bright, still zippy, and you'll never miss the booze. Bonus: swap the vodka for bourbon and you've got a Kentucky Mule, or tequila for a Mexican Mule. Same template, three drinks.
