  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 mocktail

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (120 ml) non-alcoholic ginger beer (choose a spicy variety for the best kick)

  • ½ lime, juiced (plus lime wedges for garnish)

  • Ice cubes (enough to fill your mug or glass)

  • 1 mint sprig (optional, for garnish)

  • Club soda (optional, for extra fizz—add to taste)

  • Optional add-ins:

    • 1–2 slices jalapeño (for a spicy twist)

    • A handful of berries or sliced fruit (strawberries, blueberries, etc.)

    • Extra fresh herbs (like basil or rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Fill a copper mug or tall glass with ice cubes, nearly to the top.
  2. Squeeze the juice from half a lime directly over the ice for maximum freshness.
  3. Pour in ½ cup (120 ml) ginger beer, filling the mug about two-thirds full.
  4. Top off with club soda for extra fizz, if desired.
  5. Stir gently with a spoon to combine all the flavors.
  6. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a wedge of lime. If you want to get creative, add berries, a slice of jalapeño, or a splash of fruit juice for a colorful twist!
  7. Serve immediately, and enjoy the ultimate fizzy mocktail.

Notes

  • For a sweeter, milder drink, substitute ginger ale for ginger beer.
  • Always check the label to make sure your ginger beer is non-alcoholic.
  • Chill your mug or glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes for extra cold sips.
  • For a fun garnish, add colorful paper straws, edible flowers, or umbrella picks.
  • Use leftover mocktail mule as a base for smoothies or freeze in ice cube trays for future drinks.
  • This recipe is easy to multiply for a crowd—just adjust ingredients as needed.
