Why do whisky and ginger ale go together so well?
Whisky and ginger make a stellar combo. It’s no wonder they’re paired together in a bunch of popular cocktails from the Penicillin to the Kentucky Mule. Both bring a blend of spiced sweet flavours, balanced by the ginger ale’s bubbly lightness and the whisky’s creamy smoothness. Mix the two together or pour in other complementary ingredients like honey, cinnamon and zingy lime for an ultra refreshing drink.
