Equipment

  • cocktail shaker
  • copper mugs

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 2 oz lime simple syrup Provides sweetness and tang
  • 8 oz non-alcoholic ginger beer Adds fizzy bite and warmth
  • 4 oz non-alcoholic botanical blend Optional for floral complexity
  • 2 cups ice Keeps the drink crisp

Garnish

  • 2 pieces lime wedges For garnish
  • small handful mint leaves For garnish

Instructions
 

Mixing the Drink

  • In a large cocktail shaker or mason jar, combine the lime simple syrup, ginger beer, and botanical blend (if using).
  • Cover the shaker securely and gently shake to combine.
  • Divide the ice between two copper mugs.
  • Pour the mixture into the mugs over the ice.
  • Garnish with fresh lime wedges and mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, chill copper mugs in the freezer before serving to enhance the drink's coldness. If you don't use a botanical blend, gently muddle a sprig of mint over the mug to release its oils. Adjust sweet/sour balance by modifying lime syrup amounts.
