Additional mint leaves and a lime wedge for garnishoptional
Instructions
Muddle the Mint: In a sturdy glass or a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the 7 fresh mint leaves to release their flavor. You don’t need to shred the mint, just press enough to bruise the leaves and unlock the aroma.
Combine Ingredients: Add the Limoncello, vodka, and lime juice to the glass.
Add Ice: Fill the glass or shaker with about 1 cup of ice, covering the liquid.
Shake or Stir: If using a shaker, give it a good shake to mix the ingredients well. If you don’t have a shaker, just stir the ingredients thoroughly in the glass.
Top with Ginger Beer: Pour the mixture into a Moscow Mule mug or a highball glass and top it with ginger beer. The ginger beer adds a spicy fizz that complements the sweetness of the Limoncello and the tartness of the lime.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with additional mint leaves and a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of freshness.
