Vodka Ginger Highball pairs Vodka with Ginger Ale in a straightforward tall drink. The vodka stays neutral while the ginger ale supplies sweetness, spice, and carbonation.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

  • Vodka - provides a clean spirit base.
  • Ginger Ale - adds ginger flavor, sweetness, and fizz.

Equipment

  • Highball Glass
  • Jigger
  • Bar spoon
  • Ice

A Clear 3:1 Build

Four and a half ounces of Ginger Ale against one and a half ounces of Vodka gives this highball a repeatable 3:1 mixer ratio.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Use ginger beer for more spice.
  • Replace part of the Ginger Ale with club soda for less sweetness.
  • Add a squeeze of lime for extra acidity.
  • Swap vodka for whiskey for a Whiskey Ginger.

Helpful Tips

  • Chill the Ginger Ale before building.
  • Fill the glass generously with ice.
  • Add the Ginger Ale last.
  • Stir only once or twice to preserve carbonation.
