Method
01
Prep the lime
Juice a fresh lime. Fill a copper mug or tall glass with ice. Add the lime juice (and vodka if using).
02
Build the mule
Pour in chilled ginger beer. Stir gently once or twice so the lime and vodka meet the fizz without losing too many bubbles.
03
Garnish and sip
Add a lime wedge and a mint sprig if you have one. Sip cold while the mug sweats a little in the summer air.
