Whiskey Ginger

This whiskey ginger cocktail is made with whiskey, ginger ale, and fresh lime for a light, bubbly, refreshing drink. It's simple, crisp, and easy to make in minutes.

A whiskey ginger is one of the easiest cocktails to make-just whiskey, ginger ale, and a squeeze of fresh lime. It's light, bubbly, and refreshing, with enough whiskey flavor to keep things interesting.

I love how the ginger ale softens the edges of the whiskey while adding a gentle spice. The lime brightens everything up, giving the drink a crisp, clean finish that's easy to sip.

It's the kind of no-fuss cocktail I reach for when I want something cold and quick. Simple ingredients, a few minutes, and you've got a classic that always hits the spot.

Tip: While it can definitely be made to taste, the classic ratio is 2 ounces of whiskey to 6 ounces of ginger ale. Want to make a lower alcohol drink? Half the amount and use a rocks glass instead.

While not traditional, I love serving whiskey gingers with a piece of candied ginger on the side.
