In a pitcher, use the back of a wooden spoon to muddle together the mint, half of the jalapeño slices and lime juice.
Pour in gin then stir well.
Fill four copper mugs with ice and add in equal parts of the gin mixture leaving filling the mugs ¾ of the way full.
Top off each glass with equal parts ginger beer and serve with additional jalapeño slices or lime wedges for garnish.
Notes
If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, sweeten to taste with simple syrup which is equal parts sugar and water heated in the microwave for 45 seconds until sugar dissolves.
