The Big Brew is a great game day cocktail that comes from Melodie Buell of Organic Nation Spirits. Its combination of gin, lime, and ginger are amazing and the extra touch from the ginger beer brings all of the flavors together.
The ease of making one of these drinks makes an ideal beverage for Super Bowl parties, tailgating, and the like, but for an even easier drink to serve a crowd, Buell has included a punch-sized recipe also.
