People into good whiskey and bourbon drink it neat and don’t mix it. I’m another one drinks bourbon and ginger and who has Bulleit at home, or sometimes Makers, because they’re good enough to drink straight (Woodford which I also sometimes have is better) but also fine for mixing and not so pricy that mixing with them seems wasteful.

That’s ginger beer. I see this a lot more than drinks with ginger ale.

I'm cutting way back on drinking for fitness reasons and ginger ale totally scratches the itch. My perfect mocktail.

Bourbon and ginger - the king of drinks

I worked at a bar in college and it's suprisingly common for non drinkers to request ginger ale.

yes. Obviously.

Dark spicy rum and ginger ale is an excellent drink.

+1, I don't drink anymore for health reasons but this used to be my go do because I like how spicy it is with the rum and ginger.

Ginger ale is my go-to drink when I'm not drinking alcohol. I don't have it in cocktails but PPs are sharing good ideas. Also it's cans so they can be purchased and sit at the bar basically indefinitely until they're needed.

What do you think should replace it?

Jameson & ginger. Bourbons like Makers Mark or Woodford Reserve & ginger are nice, too, but borderline too sweet.

Bourbon and ginger is my go to.

I’m the first PP and this is what I do too in summer! G&Ts are equally delicious!

For the PP who asked which whiskey, I’m not especially fussy. At home I just do Bulleit.
