Top bartender tip

"In mixology, details matter. A slight chill on a glass, a perfectly measured ingredient, or a fresh garnish can elevate your cocktail from good to exceptional. Always seek perfection."

A quick history lesson

Did you know Ginger Ale has been spicing up cocktails since the 19th century? Originally, it was brewed as an Irish tonic in the 1850s before Canadian pharmacist John McLaughlin perfected the modern carbonated version in 1904. This refreshing mixer quickly became a bar staple, known for its subtle balance of sweet and spicy ginger flavors. Whether you're stirring up a classic Whiskey Highball or a zesty Moscow Mule, this versatile soda adds a fizzy zest that elevates any drink. So next time you reach for a cocktail shaker, don’t overlook Ginger Ale—it’s been enhancing libations for over a century!
