- Use freshly cut lime to achieve the signature bright citrus aroma.
4. Top with Ginger Beer
- Fill the mug with ginger beer, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for stirring without overflow.

- Use a bar spoon to give the drink a slow stir from the bottom upward, blending citrus and vodka evenly while preserving fizz.
6. Garnish & Serve
- Add a lime wedge to the rim and place a sprig of mint on top.
- Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
