History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2000 by Audrey Saunders at Beacon, New York City, USA. Audreys's original (and our previous) recipe calls for muddled fresh ginger and sugar syrup (rather than ginger liqueur):
- 2 slice Fresh ginger root (thumbnail-sized)
- 60ml (2oz) Gin
- 15ml (½oz) Lime juice
- 7.5ml (¼oz) Sugar syrup
- 12 fresh Mint leaves
- 82.5ml (2¾oz)Top with Ginger beer

I kind of like the original better so I combined both withe the muddled fresh ginger and the liqueur and it was even better, left out the sugar syrup though

Excellent

Like a Moscow Mule, but better! The gin adds complexity that vodka could never, while combining well with the mint, lime, & ginger. Used Hayman's London Dry, Domaine De Canton, & Goslings Ginger Beer.

Another top after work arvo drink- dropped the rich syrup back to 5ml and used Bundaberg ginger beer. The top up was 120ml- pretty damn good.

As proud owner of a bottle Chartreuse Elixir I tried to add a dash to this cocktail, which imho worked really well. This drink gets a bit more depth without being less refreshing.

Here was my adapted spec, which I think worked really well:

Ingredients
* 4 oz ginger beer
* 1.5 oz gin (London Dry style - Tanqueray)
* 1 oz simple syrup
* 0.75 oz lime juice
* 8 mint leaves
* Garnish: mint sprig

Steps
* In a shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves, simple syrup, and lime juice. Add the gin and shake with ice. Double strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with ginger beer. Garnish with the mint spring.
