How to make it
Build
- Fill a copper mug or highball glass three-quarters full with crushed ice.
- Pour in 60ml bourbon whiskey, 15ml fresh lime juice, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
- Top up with 120ml ginger beer.
Mix & Finish
- Give the drink a quick, gentle stir with a bar spoon to combine the spirits without knocking out the carbonation.
- Top with a little extra crushed ice, slap the mint sprig against your palm to release its aromatic oils, and tuck it next to the lime wheel right on top.
Garnish
A lightly bruised fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel tucked into the top ice.
Make it alcohol-free
Swap the bourbon for 60ml of a non-alcoholic bourbon alternative (such as Lyre's American Malt or Gnista) or 60ml of cold-brewed black tea, and use alcohol-free aromatic bitters.
