Here is the drink you’ve been waiting for! It was featured on an Oprah show in 2010. Perfect summer drink! Serves 1.

• 1 ounce vodka
• 1 tsp. sugar syrup
• fresh lime juice
• 1/2 cup ginger beer
• 1 sprig fresh mint
• 1 slice of lime

1. Pour vodka over ice.
2. Add sugar syrup and lime juice (squeezing limes with your teeth, optional…see Oprah Episode).
3. Top with ginger beer (ginger ale is not the same) and stir.
4. Garnish with mint sprig and lime slice.

*I like to muddle the mint at the beginning to really bring out the mint flavor.
