Notes
Substitutes:
- Jameson Irish Whiskey: Any other Irish whiskey will do if you don't have Jameson on hand. You could also use bourbon for a sweeter, fuller-bodied flavor or Scotch for a smokier taste.
- Ginger Ale: If you're out of ginger ale, ginger beer makes an excellent substitute. It's spicier and less sweet than ginger ale, which can add an exciting twist to the drink.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Jameson Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic whiskey substitute; several brands are available that mimic the flavor of whiskey quite well. Alternatively, you can simply add fresh lime juice and a dash of cinnamon syrup to your ginger ale to give it a nice kick.
