While whisky and a non-alcoholic ginger-based mixers are a sought-after pairing among cocktail enthusiasts, some discerning patrons have their preferences on choosing between ginger beer and ginger ale for whisky highballs. For a straightforward cocktail such as this, the addition of ginger ale with a squeeze of lime can enhance the flavour profile of the collective elements - allowing a memorable drinking experience.

FAQs

Any whisky combined with sweet, fizzy ginger ale makes for a good combination; however, the flavour may vary depending on the whisky used.

Ginger beer can be used in a whisky ginger cocktail but it could produce a different tasting cocktail as the mixer is less sweet and relatively spicier than ginger ale.

By adding a few drops of lime or lemon juice, bitters or ginger beer, the flavour profile can be made complex and slightly different from the regular whisky ginger blend.
