Equipment
- Cooper mug
- Ice cream maker if making your own homemade sorbet
- Saucepan if making your own homemade sorbet
Ingredients
For the cocktail:
- 6 oz ginger beer chilled
- 2 1/2 oz vodka
- 3 scoop lime sorbet recipe below
- 1 lime wheel optional for garnish
- 1 mint sprig optional for garnish
For the sorbet:
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- 4 limes for the zest
Instructions
To make the lime sorbet:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and the water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let it boil. Completely cool to room temperature.
- Mix in the lime juice and zest. Refrigerate the sorbet mixture for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, for optimal chilling.
- Transfer the chilled sorbet mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process can take 20-30 minutes, depending on your machine.
- Once churned, the sorbet will be soft serve consistency. Pour the sorbet into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
To make the cocktail:
- Add vodka and ginger beer to a chilled copper mug (or highball glass). Stir into well combined.
- Scoop the lime sorbet into the mug.
- Optional Finish the drink with a lime wedge and a mint sprig.
Notes
- To make this non-alcoholic, omit the vodka and add 2 more ounces of ginger beer.
- You can use store bought sorbet, but you will need to add a squeeze or two of lime to make it tart enough.
