Recipe FAQs
Whiskey, rum, and even vodka are great alcohols to pair with your ginger ale. Feel free to play around with ingredients to find what you like.
You can use diet ginger ale for this whiskey ginger cocktail. That is what I used, and it worked great. I have also made it with regular ginger ale and we liked it as well. So you can swap with the brand you prefer (we LOVE Canada Dry) and whether you want regular or diet.
You can make this cocktail in advance, but the big thing is to leave out the ice. Otherwise, your cocktail will melt and get watered down fast.
Yes, whiskey and ginger beer go well together! Whiskey and ginger beer is a popular cocktail known as a “Moscow Mule with whiskey” or a “Kentucky Mule.” Ginger beer has a stronger ginger flavor than ginger ale, which makes it a great mixer with whiskey.
