Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey
- 4–6 oz ginger beer
- ½ oz fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
- Ice cubes (large cubes preferred)
- Fresh lime wedge for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Chill your glass in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Fill the chilled glass with large ice cubes (4-5 medium or 2 large).
- Measure and pour 2 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey over the ice.
- Squeeze about ½ oz fresh lime juice into the glass, avoiding seeds.
- Slowly pour 4 to 6 oz ginger beer over the whiskey and lime.
- Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to mix flavors without losing fizz.
- Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Choose quality ginger beer like Fever-Tree or Gosling’s for the best spicy-sweet kick. Avoid over-stirring to preserve fizz. Large ice cubes melt slower and keep the drink chilled longer without watering it down. Serve immediately after mixing to enjoy the fizz at its best. For a less sweet drink, substitute ginger beer with ginger ale. For a lower-alcohol version, reduce whiskey to 1 oz and add more ginger beer or sparkling water.
