The gin and ginger ale cocktail is a timeless pairing — spicy, botanical, and effortlessly elegant. Whether you’re kicking back on your own or mixing drinks for the crew, this combo always delivers.
With The Old G in the mix, you’re not just sipping another basic two-ingredient cocktail. You’re tasting premium craft gin with a smooth finish that stands up to the kick of ginger — no burn, no bite, just real flavor.
This cocktail hits the sweet spot between simple and elevated. The warmth of ginger meets the botanical depth of gin — and when done right, it’s balanced, bold, and refreshing.
The Old G’s smooth London Dry profile, crafted from hand-selected botanicals and infused with oxygen for lightness, pairs perfectly with the spicy-sweet snap of a high-quality ginger ale. It’s a drink that feels familiar but elevated.
Not all gin works in this serve. You need a bottle with enough character to hold its own, but smooth enough not to clash. The Old G delivers that balance.
With notes of juniper, citrus, cardamom, and a touch of natural sweetness from liquorice root, The Old G plays well with ginger ale’s spice — without either element overpowering the other.
The mixer matters. You want a ginger ale that’s got real bite — warm, zesty, maybe even a little peppery — but without being syrupy or too sweet.
Look for ginger ales that use real ginger extract, lower sugar content, or a dry-style finish. A good rule? If your gin is premium, your mixer should be too.
The key to the perfect gin and ginger ale is balance. Start with this classic ratio:
If you like it stronger, lean into the gin. Want it lighter? Add more ginger ale. It’s a flexible drink that adapts to your vibe, whether you're sipping solo or hosting a full-on gathering.
Your garnish isn’t just for looks — it completes the drink. Try:
A good garnish adds aroma, balance, and an element of surprise. Don’t skip it.
Serve it in a tall highball glass to keep it crisp and cold. Use clear ice cubes if you want to get fancy — they melt slower and look clean.
Details matter: the way you pour, the chill on the glass, the garnish twist. These touches elevate your drink from just a mix to a full experience.
Once you’ve mastered the base, experiment:
The Old G’s smoothness holds up in any remix.
It’s easy, it’s elegant, and it’s made for everyone. The gin and ginger ale combo isn’t just a fallback — it’s a go-to when you want flavor with minimal fuss.
With The Old G in your glass, you’re not just making a cocktail. You’re pouring craft, culture, and character into every sip.
Try it yourself. Grab a bottle of The Old G and mix up a gin and ginger ale the right way — simple, smooth, and built for the moment.
