Cheers - Gin Mule style

Forgot to mention that Jer gave me copper cups to make Gin-Gin Mules! Love them! Jer is putting up hooks in the kitchen for them now.


Thank you honey!

Gin-Gin Mule
Ingredients
serves 1, active time 2 minutes, total time 2 minutes

10 mint leaves
1/2 ounce simple syrup (or to taste)
1/2 ounce lime juice
ice
1 1/2 ounces gin
2 ounces chilled ginger beer
garnish: lime wedge and mint sprig

Procedures
In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle mint leaves with simple syrup and lime juice.

Add gin and fill with ice; shake gently until chilled (you don't want to smash the mint to smithereens), about 10 seconds. Strain into a highball glass or copper mug filled with ice, add ginger beer and stir. Garnish with lime wedge or mint sprig, or both.
