IMPORTANT!! The type of ginger beer makes or breaks this drink. Not just any ol' ginger beer will do.

Brand of Ginger Beer

Goslings is less expensive per can and tastes about the same. For larger groups, goslings is the way to go. For a treat, I sometimes will use one of the other two listed.

Brand of Vodka

Pretty much any 6 times distilled vodka will be good enough.

  • Tito’s Vodka
  • Sam’s Club Vodka

Steps

  1. Add correct amount of ice to glass.
  2. Sqeeze lime slice(s) completely and drop into glass
  3. Add vodka
  4. Add ginger beer**
  5. Give it a good stir

** The amount of ginger beer can vary based on the glass and drinker. If the drinker likes a stronger drink, use less ginger beer. If the drink is too strong, add a splash more. Ensure you leave enough room at the top of the glass (about half an inch).
