Ingredients in Our Classic Whiskey Ginger Ale Recipe
You will need the following ingredients to make this incredible cocktail.
Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey is a type of whiskey that is distilled and produced on the island of Ireland. It is typically triple-distilled for smoothness and known for its light and smooth flavour profile compared to other types of whiskey. Irish Whiskey uses a mix of malted and unmalted barley and ages in wooden barrels. This gives it a special taste and character.
Lime Wedge
Adding lime to a drink like whiskey ginger ale makes it taste better with a zesty citrus flavor. The acidity and tanginess of the lime help balance the sweetness of the drink, creating a well-rounded and more complex taste. Lime juice enhances the flavors of the cocktail, making it more lively and enjoyable to drink.
Double Dutch Ginger Ale
Ginger Ale -- a smooth elixir with a punch. Our successful Ginger Beer led to the creation of our special Ginger Ale, which pairs perfectly with whisky. This mixer has a strong, earthy flavour that goes well with aged spirits like whiskey and dark rum when enjoyed by itself.
