A ginger beer-based cocktail can be a refreshing alternative to regular water. This drink is easy to make and can make for a great summertime drink. Ginger beer makes a great addition to many cocktails. Here are just a few. This cocktail is available in three fantastic versions: the Moscow Mule, Paloma and Whiskey Highball.
Pimm's Cup
Pimm’s cup cocktails made from ginger ale are classic summer favorites. The gingery flavor is a perfect complement to the lemonade's tanginess and makes the drink a great base. Although the drink is traditionally made with lemonade and ginger ale, you can also substitute sparkling lemonade if you prefer.
First, fill a tall glass filled with ice to make a Pimm's Cup. Next, add the Pimm’s to the glass. Finally, garnish the drink with a lemon slice.
Moscow mule
A Moscow Mule cocktail is a cold beverage made with lime juice, ginger beer. It is traditionally served in a copper mug so that the drink stays icy cold. It can also be served in a regular cup. First, mix the vodka and lime juice together with the ice cubes. Next, pour in the ginger beer and garnish with a lime wedge.
The Moscow Mule is enhanced with ginger beer. Use a high-quality vodka to make the drink maturer and more flavorful. Tito's brand would be a good choice. Fresh limes should be used to make the lime juice. Never use bottled limes juice.
Paloma
You should add ginger beer to a Paloma drink. This will add some spice to your Paloma cocktail. Honey syrup can be used to sweeten the drink if you don’t like ginger. You can also add a little bit more sparkling water.
Palomas does not include ginger beer, but it will add a distinctive ginger flavor to the drink. You can also substitute club soda with another fizzy drink. This is a great drink to serve during holiday festivities.
Whiskey Highball
A Whiskey Hiball is a classic drink made with whiskey, ginger beer. This whiskey cocktail is different from other whiskey cocktails in that it does not need a mixer. This cocktail will be best served in an ice-filled highball glass. After the ice has been placed, add some ginger beer. The whiskey should be added next. Stir it with a wooden spoon. If you'd like, garnish with an Orange Peel.
Scotch's flavors blend well with ginger beer's sweet and spicy notes. This is particularly true for blended whiskies, which combine grain and malt whiskies. There are many ginger beer options and it is a great ingredient to make a Highball.

How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let sit overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
