Ingredients
Serving
Makes one drink
Method
Fill a highball glass or copper mug with ice. Pour in the vodka and squeeze in the lime, leaving the lime shell in the glass. Then pour in the Q Ginger Beer (from a fresh bottle), and gently stir. Wow – spicy, bubbly, and clean.
Variations
Because Q Ginger Beer is less sweet than other ginger beers, it leaves more room to add a special flair. Try adding fresh juice (watermelon is great!) or a liqueur (use Sorrel for a Flatbush Mule).

Method
Fill a highball glass with fresh ice. Pour in the Q Ginger Beer and squeeze in the lime. Top with the rum so it floats on the top, looking like a dark storm cloud that will force you to stay at the bar all afternoon. Stay at the bar all afternoon.
Variations
Because Q Ginger Beer is less sweet than other ginger beers, it leaves more room to add a modifier. Try adding 2 oz. fresh juice – pineapple for a Summer Storm or apple cider for a Dark, Stormy, and Cidery.

Method
Place ice in a highball glass and add your favorite gin. Squeeze in a lime wedge. Then pour in the Q Tonic Water or Q Indian Tonic Water, depending on the gin. London Dry gins should get the Q Indian Tonic Water and more subtle gins should get Q Tonic Water. Gently stir and garnish with a lime wedge.
Variations
Have some fun. Swap in a different garnish, maybe a grapefruit, cucumber, or lime twist. Or muddle in a fresh herb – thyme can be great. Or even add an ounce of liqueur, something like pamplemousse or an elderflower.

Variations
Bitter, highly carbonated, and only slightly sweet, Q Tonic Water makes great aperitifs. So try it with your favorite white port, vermouth, or liqueur on a warm evening. You won’t regret it.
