Suffering Bastard No. 2

Bourbon, lime, ginger beer, bitters. The American adaptation of the Cairo original. Simpler, sharper.

Ingredients

• Bourbon Whiskey2 ounces
• Fresh Lime Juice½ ounce
• Angostura Bitters2 dashes
• Ginger Beer4 ounces
• Mint Sprig1 each
• Lime Wedge1 each

Directions

Combine bourbon, lime, and bitters in a highball glass with ice. Top with ginger beer. Stir briefly. Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wedge.

Notes

Less complex than the original — single base, no brandy. Works as a bourbon mule with bitters.
