Method
Pour the vodka and lime juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
A ‘wet shake’ is required here to combine the ingredients. Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds.
Pour the vodka and lime mixture into a collins glass over fresh ice.
Top with ginger beer, then gently stir the ingredients to combine everything.
If using, add the Angostura bitters on top before garnishing with the fresh mint.
Notes
Try replacing the vodka with gin for a great alternative.
