  • Lime wedge for garnish

  2. Pour 2 ounces of vodka over the ice.
  3. Add 1/2 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice.
  4. Top with 4 ounces of spicy ginger beer, pouring slowly to maintain carbonation.
  5. Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon to combine all ingredients without losing carbonation.
  6. Garnish with a lime wedge, pressing it slightly into the drink to release some oils.
  7. If using, add a sprig of mint and/or a slice of candied ginger for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  8. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and the ginger beer is still fizzy.
