Copper Mug : Using a copper mug isn’t just tradition—it helps keep the drink extra cold and adds to the experience.
Ginger Beer : Opt for a spicy, non-alcoholic ginger beer for the classic zing. Adjust quantity to taste.
Vodka Quality : Use a smooth vodka for the best results, as it’s the base of the drink.
Flavor Variations : Try adding muddled berries, cucumber slices, or a dash of bitters for a twist.
Non-Alcoholic Version : Simply omit vodka for a delicious ginger-lime mocktail.
