The frigid nights of winter are gradually giving way to a warmer, lighter one as summer approaches. It’s the ideal time of year for an outside meal or, if you prefer, a sophisticated balcony date. The traditional beverage of choice would now be wine. But since holidays like Christmas, New Year’s, and Valentine’s Day were all quite common, choosing something sweeter and more seasonal would sound like a great idea. It’s time to pull out the vintage shakers and arrive with a drink that will impress your guest (or date). If you want to make a special and alluring cocktail to go with your meal, whisky makes a fantastic base.
Check out this one of the simplest yet most delightful cocktails, which has the ideal golden hue:
Whiskey highball
Whiskey highball, which is typically served in a high glass with ginger and lemon, is the ideal beverage for anyone looking for a new and refreshing way to enjoy whisky. Traditional whisky highballs are made with whisky and a mixer, usually carbonated water or ginger ale. They’re the perfect drink for people who don’t like the strong flavour of whisky or who want something that slightly mutes it down.
Ingredients
2 oz whiskey
1 can of ginger ale
Ice Cubes
Preparation
Whiskey, ice, and ginger ale are added to a tall glass.
To mix the flavours, gently fold them together while stirring.
Whyskey Old-fashioned
The whisky old fashioned is a timeless beverage that is made using whisky, sugar, and bitters. While spending cosy evenings with your significant other, the combination of whiskey’s mild flavour and the bitters’ powerful aromas is ideal, especially if you both enjoy the classics and are clear about what you adore.

1 1/2 oz downing street whiskey
1 Sugar cube

Penicillin

3/4 ounce Lemon Juice
3/4 ounce Honey-Ginger Syrup
1/4 ounce Single Malt Scotch
