- 1/2 cup ginger beer (chilled)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)

Optional Garnishes:

- Cinnamon stick
- Star anise or whole clove
- Lime wedge
Instructions
- Fill a chilled copper mug or glass with ice.

Notes
For a healthier twist, use diet or zero-sugar ginger beer, or replace maple syrup with stevia or monk fruit. For a probiotic boost, swap half the ginger beer with kombucha.
