When the end of summer comes calling, we answer with a refreshing riff on a classic ginger mule. Cucumber juice adds a welcome touch of spa water flavor, while the (optional!) gin brings it with herbaceous flavor. Finally, this refreshing drink all comes together with a splash of spiced Betty Buzz Ginger Beer.
