Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

    • 4 ounces ginger beer
    • 2 ounces vodka
    • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
    • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
    • 2–3 fresh chili slices (jalapeño or red chili)
    • Ice cubes

For Garnish:

  • Lime wedge
  • Extra chili slice
  • Fresh mint sprig (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a cocktail shaker or mixing glass with ice to chill the base of your drink.
  2. Mix the Base: Add vodka, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and chili slices. Muddle the chili lightly to release heat without making the drink overwhelming.
  3. Add Ginger Beer: Pour in the ginger beer and stir gently. Avoid shaking, as this will flatten the bubbles.
  4. Assemble the Cocktail: Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice. Top with a splash more ginger beer if needed.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Add a lime wedge, a chili slice, and a mint sprig if desired. Serve immediately for the best fizz and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a spicy ginger beer brand for the best flavor impact.
  • Adjust the heat level by adding more or fewer chili slices.
  • For a sweeter version, increase the simple syrup slightly.
  • To make a mocktail, omit the vodka and add extra ginger beer.
