In this variation on the Mule, ginger beer gets plenty of extra kick from jalapeño and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.

Ingredients
  • 1 ½-thick wheel of fresh jalapeño pepper
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • ¾ ounce lime juice
  • ¾ ounces ginger syrup
  • 3 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • Ginger beer
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper, for garnish
Directions

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the jalapeño slice. Add vodka, lime juice, ginger syrup, bitters and ice. Shake well, and strain into a copper mug over fresh ice. Top off with ginger beer and garnish with cayenne pepper on top.
