Steps:

• Combine lime juice, bourbon and syrup to taste in a small pitcher or cocktail shaker. If possible, let mixture chill in refrigerator or freezer until very cold.
• Pour over ice in a rocks glass and top with ginger beer. Depending on the sweetness of the ginger beer, you may want to add a little more lime juice. Garnish with a lime slice.

MAPLE BOURBON GINGER SPLASH

Steps:

• Put some maple syrup on a saucer and put some sugar on a second saucer.
• Dip the rim of a double old-fashioned glass in the syrup, then dip it in the sugar. Once the rim is all coated in sugary goodness, add a few ice cubes, and set aside.
• Now, it's time to get shakin'. Add the bourbon, maple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and do what you do best: Shake it.
• Pour the drink into the prepared glass. Add a splash of ginger beer -- I like a little sparkle in there. Stop making fun of me.
• Peel a small piece of lemon rind using a vegetable peeler. Twist the rind and toss it in the glass. Enjoy!
