The preparation

5 steps, about 5 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Fill a copper mug or highball glass with ice.

  2. 02

    Pour tequila over ice.

  3. 03

    Squeeze lime juice directly in.

  4. 04

    Top with ginger beer. Stir once gently.

  5. 05

    Garnish with a lime wheel. **Note:** Ginger and lime cut through the richness of butter and garlic between bites. The pairing is functional, not just refreshing.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Use a good cold ginger beer and give it just one gentle stir. Stir the fizz out and you lose the bite, and that spice is the whole point next to the fresh lime.”
