Rye and Ginger
Ingredients
2 oz Rye Whisky*
4 or 5 oz Ginger Ale
Directions
1. Pour the whiskey into a Collins glass.
2. Add 2 or 3 ice cubes, and top off with Ginger Ale.
*You can also use Canadian whiskey, which has been calling itself "rye" since Prohibition made that profitable. It does have some rye in it, but it's nowhere near as muscular as the real stuff. You're better off with a big, robust bourbon, such as Old Forester, Old Grand Dad, or Wild Turkey.
