This zesty, refreshing drink is seeing a resurgence:
2 ounces of vodka
4 ounces of ginger beer
1 ounce of fresh lime juice
cucumber
dash of nutmeg
Combine liquid ingredients in a tall glass or copper mug with ice. Cut a slice of cucumber diagonally, about 1/4″ thick, and add to glass.
Sprinkle very lightly with nutmeg, if desired.
Voila!
