Here are just a few. These cocktails include the Paloma (Moscow Mule), Paloma (Whiskey Highball) and Paloma (Paloma).
Pimm's Cup
Pimm's Cup cocktails made with ginger beer are one of the best summer classics. Its gingery taste complements lemonade's tartness and creates the perfect backdrop for the drink. Traditionally, the drink is made with ginger ale and lemonade. However, sparkling lemonade may be used if you prefer.
First fill a tall cup with ice in order to make a Pimm's Cup. Next, add in the ginger beer and Pimm's. Finally garnish the drink with one lemon slice
Moscow mule
A Moscow Mule cocktail is a cold beverage made with lime juice, ginger beer. The drink is traditionally served in copper mugs to ensure it stays cold. However, it can also be served in a regular glass. Mix the vodka, lime juice, and ice cubes first. Next, stir in the ginger ale and garnish with a lemon wedge.
The Moscow Mule is enhanced with ginger beer. A good-quality vodka will make the Moscow Mule more aged and flavorful. Tito's brand of vodka is a great choice. It is important to squeeze fresh limes into the lime juice. Never use bottled juice.
Paloma
Make a Paloma Martini by adding ginger beer. This will add some nice spice to the drink. You can also sweeten it with honey syrup if ginger is not your favorite flavor. You can also add a little more sparkling water.
Ginger beer is not a traditional ingredient in Palomas, but it will give the drink a unique ginger flavor. Club soda, or any other fizzy beverage can be substituted. This is a wonderful drink to enjoy during holiday celebrations.

This cocktail is best served in a highball glass with ice. Add a splash ginger beer to the ice once it is set. Next, add the whiskey to the mixture and mix it well with a spoon. If desired, garnish the drink with an orange slice.

How to make Manhattan's best cocktail
A Manhattan is one the most iconic cocktails in the entire world. Harry Craddock wrote the first description of it in his book, "The Savoy Bar Book", (1930). The cocktail is made up of equal amounts of sweet, dry, and rye whisky. It's mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from four ingredients and served straight up in a chilled glass. Its origins go back to the 19th Century when it was called The Four Deuces. That is because it contained two ounces of whisky, two ounces of rye and two ounces of gin. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.
Some prefer bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. Both can be used equally. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture, and then serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
