Instructions
 

Fill the Mug with Ice

  • Fill a copper mug or glass all the way with ice.
  • This keeps the drink extra cold and refreshing.

Add the Bourbon

  • Fresh lime gives the best flavor.

Top with Ginger Beer

  • Fill the mug with ginger beer.
  • Stir gently to mix everything.

Garnish and Serve

  • Add a lime wedge or fresh mint on top.
  • Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.

Notes

  • Use a strong, spicy ginger beer for bold flavor.
  • Fresh lime juice makes a big difference.
  • Choose a bourbon you like — its flavor comes through.
  • Add more lime if you prefer a tangier drink.
  • Chill the mug before serving for extra coldness.
