Exact quantities, then the method.
A mule is all about ginger, so ginger Green Tea slots in naturally. Swap half the usual ginger beer for a strong, chilled brew of Twinings Ginger Green Tea and the drink comes out drier and less sugary, with a green tea note sitting under the spice. Vodka, lime and ice in a copper mug do the rest.

You'll need
- 2 tea bags of Twinings Ginger Green Tea
- 200ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 100ml vodka
- Juice of 1 lime
- 150ml chilled ginger beer or soda water
- Plenty of ice and lime wedges, to serve
Method
- Let the boiled water stand for about a minute, then steep the 2 bags for 4 minutes and lift them out without squeezing.
- Stir in the honey while warm, then leave to cool and chill.
- Fill two copper mugs or tumblers with plenty of ice.
- Divide the chilled tea, vodka and lime juice between the mugs and stir.
- Top each with chilled ginger beer or soda, add a lime wedge, and serve.
- Use ginger beer rather than soda in the finish for a double-ginger mule; choose one that is not too sweet or the green tea gets lost.
