Your Next Drink: Jameson and Ginger Ale

Jameson & Ginger Ale

Primary Alcohol: Jameson Irish Whiskey

Taste: Just like ginger, except it makes you warm in the stomach and face. Garnished with a lime will help to make the drink have a bit of sour. Surprisingly easy to drink, just a small hint of whiskey in addition to a crisp and refreshing taste.

Appearance: Syrup and ice with little bubbles coming out of the top. Very inviting, mellow, and a non-threatening drink. With a glass that fits in your hand, it would even be possible to be sneaky with it.

This is one of my go-to drinks, hard to mess up and delicious even when it is flawed. As long as you have ice, all is right in the world.

Advice: A great order if there is a bar specialty that you aren’t aware of, as well as at a busy bar. It’s easy to make, easy to drink, and as cowboys know, whiskey builds character.
