    Rye & Ginger

    It’s a simple, yet sophisticated cocktail for a simple, yet sophisticated man. After enough of them, you might be too loopy to play chef of the cocktail anyway, so here’s to simplicity in a short glass.

    It’s as easy as pouring a generous portion of rye whiskey over ice and freshening it up with the tiniest bit of ginger goodness. It’s great if you love whiskey and you’re a social drinker who can’t stop putting the glass to his mouth. This cocktail’s greatness depends both on your love of whiskey and your ability to choose the right kind.

    Ingredients:

    1 oz rye whiskey (or however much you like)
    Splash of ginger ale
