Large Pitcher
Measuring Cup
Prepare the Lime Juice:
Squeeze enough limes to get 5 oz lime juice. Using fresh limes rather than bottled juice makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large pitcher or jug, combine the 16 oz of vodka, 32 oz of ginger beer, and the freshly squeezed lime juice.
Stir Well:
Use a long spoon to stir the mixture gently. You want to mix well without losing too much carbonation from the ginger beer.
Chill:
Refrigerate the mixture until it's cold. This can be done several hours in advance, which allows the flavors to meld together nicely.
Serve:
When ready to serve, stir the mixture again gently.
Pour over ice in copper mugs or glasses of your choice.
Garnish each glass with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of flavor and elegance.
Adding a lime wheel or mint leaves not only makes the drink look more appealing but also adds a fresh aroma.
If you like a spicier kick, consider adding a small amount of freshly grated ginger to the mix or a dash of ginger syrup.
