Ginger Lime Mule

Real ginger gives this one an actual bite, which is the whole test for a mule. Lime rounds it off, and the sparkle keeps it closer to the copper mug version than most canned attempts get. At 30 calories and 7g of natural sugar it stays well under what ginger beer usually brings. Every can in the Recess Zero Proof line carries the same functional base: guayusa for 10mg of natural caffeine, L-theanine, and lemon balm. It is agave-sweetened, 0% ABV, and made with real ingredients rather than flavor syrups. Pour it over plenty of ice with a lime wedge and, if you have one, a sprig of mint. It also does well as a mixer if you are making drinks for a mixed group and want one base that works either way.
