Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces Jameson Irish Whiskey
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 4 to 6 ounces ginger beer
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedge or wheel for garnish
- Fresh mint sprig (optional)
Instructions
- Chill your copper mug or glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Cut a lime in half and juice it using a citrus juicer until you have about 1 ounce of fresh lime juice.
- Fill the chilled mug or glass with plenty of ice cubes.
- Measure and pour 2 ounces of Jameson Irish Whiskey over the ice.
- Add the freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Slowly pour 4 to 6 ounces of ginger beer over the mixture.
- Gently stir with a spoon or straw to combine flavors without losing carbonation.
- Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel and optionally a sprig of fresh mint.
Notes
Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for best flavor. Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink icy cold. Use a good-quality spicy ginger beer like Fever-Tree or Gosling’s. Stir gently to preserve carbonation. Adjust ginger beer amount to taste. Avoid ginger ale as it is too sweet and flat. For a lighter version, replace half the ginger beer with sparkling water. Garnish with mint or other herbs for variation.
