Gin-Gin Mule

Ingredients

• 1 pint (16 oz) water
• 1 lb superfine sugar
• 23 oz fresh lime juice (from 23 limes, which can be done in 15 minutes)
• 32 oz (1 quart) Simple Syrup
• 45 oz gin
• 32 oz Homemade Ginger Beer
• 6 bundles of mint, half for muddling, the other half for garnish

Instructions

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.
