Making a Great Jameson, Ginger Ale & Lime

Known as Jameson’s signature cocktail, this is a ginger ale drink for all occasions. We love the little kick the lime wedge adds to the Jameson Original and ginger ale – it’s the perfect balance of flavors. Plus, it’s highly customizable. Adjust ginger ale and lime levels to suit your preferences.

One of the best parts – no cocktail shaker required, so it’s easy to make a batch in a pitcher and bring it out with a bucket of ice for a summer barbecue. Or make it into ice pops.
