Gin-Gin Mule

Directions

1. 1.

   Measure 1 part water to 1 part superfine sugar into a bottle that has a top. Close the lid and shake well. Let this settle, and then repeat 1 or 2 more times, until all the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is clear.

2. 2.

   Measure the lime juice, Simple Syrup, and mint into a mixing glass. Muddle well to extract the mint's flavor. Add ginger beer, gin, and ice. Garnish with a mint sprig. You can also add candied ginger for a more festive effect. Serve with a straw.
