Ingredients

  • 4 slices cucumber
  • 16 blueberries

  • 60mls vodka

Instructions

  1. Put the cucumber, 8 blueberries and mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.  Muddle until crushed and juicy.  Add a handful of ice, vodka and lime.  Cover shaker and shake for about 15 seconds, until the shaker develops a nice coat of condensation on the outside.
  2. Fill a Moscow mule mug with ice.  Strain the liquid from the shaker into the mug.  Top with ginger beer and 4 blueberries.  Thread 4 more blueberries and a piece of candied ginger onto a toothpick. Garnish with a sprig of mint and the toothpick of berries and ginger.
