Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Select a highball glass (10–12 oz). Fill the glass with ice cubes to just below the rim to properly chill the drink.
Add whiskey
Measure and pour 2 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey over the ice.
Add lime juice
Pour 0.5 oz fresh lime juice into the glass. If you prefer a lighter lime presence, use 0.25 oz instead.
Adjust and taste
Taste briefly. If you prefer it slightly sweeter or less sharp, add an extra 0.5–1 oz ginger ale or a quick dash more lime for brightness.
Garnish & serve
Garnish
Express a lime wedge (squeeze its oils over the drink), run it around the rim if desired, then drop it into the glass. Add a lime wheel on the rim and a mint sprig if using.
