Cocktails to make with ginger ale and spirits

You can make several easy, highball style cocktails with ginger ale using whisky or gin, and our best matches are Jack And Ginger, Copper Gin, Bourbon Highball, Rye & Ginger, and Gin Buck.

Ginger ale is a brilliant mixer because it lengthens a spirit, adds lift and sweetness, and keeps things simple when you want a quick, refreshing drink. If your main aim is “what alcohol goes with ginger ale?”, whisky and gin are the most straightforward wins here.

For whisky drinkers, Jack And Ginger is the classic two ingredient option, while Bourbon Highball and Rye & Ginger keep the same easy format but let you choose your style of whiskey.

If you are leaning towards gin, Copper Gin is a clean, sparkling serve with a dash of aromatic bitters, and Gin Buck brings a brighter, citrusy edge.

A couple more ginger ale friendly choices from the list:

Blarney & Malarkey if you fancy combining gin and whiskey with a lime slice
Cablegram Cooler for a lighter, longer whiskey cooler style drink

Note: the recommended cocktails here do not use cognac or tonic water, so if those are your priority, you will need a different set of recipes.

FAQ

Reunimos algumas perguntas e respostas rápidas para ajudar você a encontrar exatamente o que procura.

What is ginger ale?

Ginger ale is a carbonated soft drink flavored with ginger. It is typically sweetened and can be consumed on its own or used as a mixer in cocktails, adding a spicy and fizzy element to the drinks.

How does ginger ale affect the taste of a cocktail?

Ginger ale adds a sweet, spicy, and slightly tangy flavor to cocktails. Its effervescence also contributes a refreshing, bubbly texture that complements a variety of spirits, particularly whiskey and rum.

Is there a difference between ginger ale and ginger beer?

Yes, there is. Ginger ale is typically sweeter and milder, while ginger beer has a stronger, more pronounced ginger flavor. Ginger beer also tends to be less carbonated and can add a more robust kick to cocktails.

Can ginger ale be substituted with something else?

If you don't have ginger ale, you can use ginger beer for a stronger ginger flavor. Alternatively, club soda or tonic water with a dash of ginger syrup can be used, but keep in mind this will alter the taste of the cocktail slightly.

What other ingredients pair well with ginger ale in cocktails?

Ginger ale pairs well with various ingredients including lime, lemon, berries, mint, and other herbs, as well as a range of spirits like whiskey, rum, gin, and vodka. It adds versatility and a unique flavor profile to many drinks.
