At Manta, a seafood restaurant that’s in The Cape hotel on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, the specialties are mezcal, Tequila and saké. All are options for this extremely versatile cocktail, where each plays well with the freshness of cucumber and lime.

When mixing at home, however, you needn’t feel limited to those three choices: This cocktail is designed to accommodate just about any white spirit. (Vodka, gin or white rum would make fine additions.) In fact, the recipe is so flexible that it can even go boozeless—all you have to do is add an extra squeeze of lime to balance out the sweetness of the ginger beer.
