Legend has it that this drink was first served up in New York in a copper mug. Here’s a version which is equally delicious with the optional additions of Angostura bitters and fresh mint.
By Jack Wakelin
Ingredients
- 50ml/2fl oz vodka
- 15ml/1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 handfuls ice
- ginger beer, to taste
- 2 dashes of Angostura bitters (optional)
- fresh mint sprig, to garnish (optional)
Method
Pour the vodka and lime juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
A ‘wet shake’ is required here to combine the ingredients. Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds.
Pour the vodka and lime mixture into a collins glass over fresh ice.
Top with ginger beer, then gently stir the ingredients to combine everything.
If using, add the Angostura bitters on top before garnishing with the fresh mint.
