Ingredients
- 2 ounces Irish whiskey
- 1/2 cup ginger ale
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 ounces of Irish whiskey, 1/2 cup of ginger ale, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and some ice cubes.
- Fill a cocktail shaker or a mixing glass with ice cubes to chill the drink.
- Pour 2 ounces of Irish whiskey over the ice in the shaker.
- Add 1/2 cup of ginger ale to the shaker, allowing the effervescence to mix with the whiskey.
- In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine 1/4 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir gently until the sugar is dissolved and the cream is slightly sweetened.
- Carefully pour the sweetened heavy cream over the whiskey and ginger ale mixture in the shaker. Do not stir, as you want to create a layered effect.

- Garnish with a slice of fresh ginger or a twist of lemon peel for an added touch of flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Irish Whiskey and Ginger Cream!
Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the best results, ensure your whiskey, ginger ale, and cream are well-chilled before mixing.
- Use High-Quality Whiskey: Choose a premium Irish whiskey like Jameson or Bushmills for the most authentic flavor.
- Layer Carefully: When adding cream, pour it slowly over the back of a spoon to create a beautiful layered effect.
- Fresh Ice is Key: Use fresh, clean ice cubes to prevent dilution and maintain the drink's crisp flavor.
- Experiment with Garnishes: Try a candied ginger piece or a lemon twist to elevate the presentation and add extra complexity.
- Serve Immediately: This cocktail is best enjoyed right after preparation to maintain its optimal temperature and texture.
