Tips:
- Make your best attempt to use high-quality ingredients. Just like anything you eat or drink, ingredients make an impact. If you choose to use cheap vodka or that old ginger beer from your hot trunk you can expect a sub-standard taste. It will still probably taste better than most cocktails but won’t do the recipe justice!
- Consider chilling your ingredients prior to making the drink. Use ice cold vodka, ginger beer, and limes. Also consider pre-chilling your copper mug.
- Don’t forget to pick up a set of copper mugs!
