Take a rocks glass, or glass of your choice and run a lime wedge around the rim. Pour the sugar onto a plate and roll the rim of the glass in the sugar so it sticks.
2 lime wedges, 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Carefully add ice to the glass, add half of the lime juice, gin and ginger beer, stir to combine. Repeat with the other glass, garnish with the lime wedge.
1 ounce lime juice, 2 ounces gin, 12 ounces ginger beer

Always use premium gin for the best tasting London Mule.
A copper mug can be a fun alternative to a rocks glass and keeps your drink cooler for longer!
To ensure the sugar sticks well to the rim, make sure the lime wedge you use is juicy.
Choose a spicy ginger beer for that extra zesty kick.
Don’t have a cocktail shaker? Just give your drink a quick stir in the glass.
For a modern classic cocktail vibe, garnish with both a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.
