Ginger ale

A carbonated soft drink with subtle ginger flavor and sweetness, lighter and less spicy than ginger beer. Used as a gentler ginger mixer, ginger ale adds mild ginger notes and effervescence. It's the classic mixer for the Horse's Neck (with brandy) and simple whiskey highballs.

Flavor Profile

Light ginger nose with crisp effervescence, subtle sweetness, and mild spice. Palate is gently fizzy with clean ginger warmth and sugary lift. Refreshing, thirst-quenching finish with spice.
