Notes

Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.

Choose a good quality, non-alcoholic ginger beer with a strong, spicy kick, as it's the primary flavor component.

When muddling mint, be gentle; a few presses are usually sufficient to release aromatic oils without making the mint taste bitter.

Consider chilling your copper mugs or glasses beforehand to keep the drink colder for longer.

Use plenty of ice, preferably large cubes or spheres, for sustained chill without overly diluting your drink.

Assemble this non-alcoholic Moscow Mule just before serving to preserve the fizziness of the ginger beer and the freshness of the mint; do not store fully mixed.

You can pre-squeeze lime juice and make simple syrup ahead of time, storing them in the refrigerator to speed up preparation.
