Whiskey Ginger Recipe – A Stunning Mess

We simply adore whiskey gingers through the sizzling summer time months. In actual fact, I’ve been loving this cocktail for greater than a decade. They’re easy to make, refreshing, flippantly candy, and flavorful.

It’s straightforward sufficient to mix store-bought ginger ale and whiskey for a fast whiskey ginger. That is the simple to solution to make a whiskey ginger. And for those who order this cocktail, this can be what you get, relying on the kind of bar you might be in.

Whiskey Ginger = whiskey + ginger ale OR whiskey + ginger beer (though the latter is just about a Kentucky mule, which is a variation on a Moscow mule)

Jack and Ginger = Jack Daniels whiskey + ginger ale or ginger beer

There have been occasions I’ve ordered a whiskey ginger and I received scotch and ginger ale as an alternative. So, in case you are ordering out and have a desire on whiskey, it’s greatest to simply say so.

However, I really like this recipe as a result of the ginger style is stronger and it’s not fairly as candy as utilizing ginger beer. All you have to make your personal do-it-yourself whiskey gingers is ginger syrup (recipe under), whiskey, membership soda, and for those who’re feeling fancy, some lemon or lime slices for garnish.

Ginger Syrup, makes about 1 cup

1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
35 grams grated and sliced recent ginger (see above for what 35 grams seems to be like)

Grate and slice up your ginger and put aside. In a pot, mix the water and sugar over medium warmth and stir till the sugar is dissolved. Now, add within the ginger and simmer on low/medium warmth for 20 minutes.

Permit this to chill barely and pressure the syrup, reserving the ginger slices. Retailer this in a sealed container in your fridge for as much as a month.

Whiskey Ginger, makes one

1.5 ounces whiskey
1-2 tablespoons ginger syrup
1 cup (or extra) membership soda
ice
lemon or lime slices for garnish

In a brief glass, mix the whiskey and syrup. Stir to mix. Add ice to the glass and fill the rest with membership soda. Stir to mix. Garnish with lemon or lime slices if utilizing.

A whiskey ginger is a superb cocktail all yr spherical, however I particularly like them in the summertime. Cheers! xo. Emma
