Step by step

1. Make the ice pucks. Pour 800 ml of water into the Plastic Ice Molds and freeze for 12-24 hours.

2. Make the syrup. Add the remaining 250 ml water, caster sugar, juice of 2 limes, zest of 1 lime, julienned ginger and mint leaves to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer until the syrup has the consistency of maple syrup (about 30 minutes).

3. Strain and let cool completely before transferring the syrup to a sealable bottle. Store in the fridge.

4. Allow the ice pucks to rest at room temperature until the outside of the puck has a nice glossy sheen. Place the puck into KitchenAid Shave Ice Attachment, turn speed to 10 and shave the ice into a serving glass.

5. Divide the vodka over the 2 glasses and add half of the ginger beer to them. Stir with a fork.

6. Shave a second puck of ice in the glass. Top off with the remaining ginger beer until the glass is almost full. Drizzle some syrup on top to your taste.

7. Garnish with a spring of mint, fresh lime and a chili pepper.
