A punchy and invigorating cocktail that highlights the spicy notes of rye whiskey with the sharp kick of ginger and a bright citrus finish. It's a delightfully refreshing drink, perfect for any occasion.
Fill a highball glass with ice.
Add rye whiskey, fresh lemon juice, and ginger liqueur directly into the glass.
Gently stir the ingredients to combine and chill.
💡 Stir just enough to mix without losing carbonation when adding ginger beer.
Top with ginger beer and give a final, gentle stir.
💡 Stir gently to preserve fizz.
Garnish with candied ginger and a lemon wheel.
🍸 For a spicier kick, use a good quality ginger beer with real ginger, not just ginger flavor.
The peppery, dry notes of rye whiskey are a perfect match for the pungent warmth of ginger, while fresh lemon juice adds essential brightness and the soda lightens the whole profile for a crisp finish.
