Exact measures for one drink. Fresh ice is part of the method.

US fluid ounces convert the exact milliliter specification and round to three decimal places.

A LITTLE CEREMONY

The method.

  1. Prepare your glass

    Set out a clean copper mug for each serving. Add 120 g of fresh cubed ice to each glass just before pouring.

  2. Measure into the glass

    Pour one serving of the measured still ingredients into each glass over the fresh ice.

  3. Finish gently

    Pour in the measured ginger beer and stir once gently.

    Keep the bubbles lively

    Measure sparkling ingredients separately. Add them at the point stated in the recipe, then lift or stir gently if directed. Never shake carbonated ingredients in a sealed shaker.

  4. The finishing touch

    Add the measured garnish and serve immediately.
