Whiskey Ginger

With only 3 ingredients and a couple minutes, this Whiskey Ginger is a flavorful drink for parties, holidays or weekends!

I love the flavor of ginger, especially ginger ale. With lime juice, Irish whiskey and ginger ale it really makes this Whiskey Ginger taste great.

Quick and easy drinks are our go-to and this is exactly what you will get with this one. Taking only a couple minutes to throw together.

This is a great cocktail recipe all year long, I really like drinking it in the Fall months as ginger is just one of those “Fall” flavors to me.

With the easy ingredients, you don’t need anything special to make this Whiskey Ginger Recipe either. Just easy and quick.

The addition of lime juice gives it just a nice kick that really brings all the flavors together.

WHAT DOES A WHISKEY GINGER TASTE LIKE?

You get warm notes from the whiskey and the ginger ale but a bit of a kick from the lime juice and the carbonation from the ginger ale.

WHAT WHISKEY CAN I USE?

We typically use Irish whiskey for this recipe, mainly Jameson. But you can use any whiskey that you like. Some that we have used include:

1. Redbreast
2. Bushmills
3. Jack Daniel’s
4. Evan Williams
5. Jim Beam
6. Black Velvet
7. Southern Comfort

CAN I USE BOTTLED LIME JUICE?

While fresh lime juice tastes the best, bottled can be used in a pinch and if that is all that you have on hand.

CAN I USE GINGER BEER FOR THIS?

If you want a bolder flavor you can absolutely use ginger beer for this. You would essentially be making a version of a Kentucky Mule.

The only difference between bourbon and whiskey is where it is made and that at least 51% of the grain mixture is corn.

HOW TO STORE:

I do not recommend storing this recipe, it is best drank once it is made.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Use your favorite kind of whiskey, we use Jameson.
• Ginger Beer can be substituted for a stronger flavor.
• You can make this with bourbon as well.
• Fresh lime juice is the best, but bottled will work in a pinch.
• You can easily double or triple this recipe to serve more people.
• This is great all year round.
