Whiskey Ginger Cocktail
Method
Whiskey Ginger Cocktail
Prepare glass and ice
Fill a highball glass with cubed ice until about 3/4 full. If you prefer a chilled glass, place the glass in the freezer 10–15 minutes before making the drink and use fewer ice cubes.
Measure whiskey
Pour 2 oz Johnnie Walker Red Label over the ice in the prepared glass.
Add lime juice
Add 1/2 oz fresh lime juice to the glass. If you like a brighter citrus note, squeeze the lime wedge as well and drop the wedge in the glass.
Optional bitters
If using, add 1–2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top to introduce aromatic complexity.
Stir and garnish
Use a bar spoon (or a long spoon) to give the drink one to two gentle stirs to combine the whiskey, lime, and ginger ale without knocking out too much fizz. Garnish with the lime wedge on the rim or floated in the drink.
Serve
Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
