The Big Ginger



St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching and with no personal culinary ties to the feast day, I'll write a post on a popular and easy drink featuring Jameson Irish Whiskey. This drink comes from The Local bar in Minneapolis, MN, which holds the claim-to-fame of selling more Jameson than any establishment in the world (even bars in Ireland). This drink has a large role to play in their mass consumption of the water of life. 


The drink is called a Big Ginger: take a pint glass and fill it to the top with ice cubes. Fill the ice-filled glass halfway with Jameson whiskey. Next, squeeze a large wedge of lime and a large wedge of lemon into the glass. Then fill the glass up with good ginger ale and float the wedges in the drink and you've got yourself a Big Ginger. Try different ginger ales to find your perfect blend and you'll be turning away the pints of green beer in no time.

    This sounds fantastic...very refreshing in the summer too, I would imagine.

    Definitely. When a G&T isn't inspiring you, this is perfect on a summer evening.

    Looking forward to trying this. I feel that to do this drink justice a ginger ale or ginger beer made with real ginger is essential.
