Bushranger

The Bushranger cocktail is a classic drink that combines the bold flavors of whiskey and ginger beer. This powerful and refreshing cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a strong, yet balanced drink.

To make the Bushranger cocktail, you will need a few simple ingredients and basic bartending skills. Start by filling a glass with ice cubes, about three quarters full. Next, pour in two ounces of whiskey. You can use your preferred brand or try something new for a different taste experience.

After adding the whiskey, top off the glass with ginger beer. Ginger beer adds a spicy and slightly sweet flavor that complements the whiskey perfectly. Make sure to leave a little bit of space at the top of the glass for garnish.

For garnish, you can use a lemon wedge or a sprig of fresh mint. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the cocktail and drop it into the glass. Alternatively, gently slap the mint sprig to release its aroma and place it on top of the drink. The garnish adds a touch of freshness and extra flavor to the Bushranger cocktail.

Once you have prepared the cocktail, gently stir it with a bar spoon. This will help to mix the flavors and chill the drink. Avoid shaking the cocktail, as this can dilute the whiskey and make it lose some of its robustness.

The Bushranger cocktail is best served in a rocks glass or a highball glass. This allows you to fully appreciate the aroma and flavors of the drink. You can also add a couple of extra ice cubes if you prefer your drink to be colder.

Enjoy the refreshing and bold flavors of the Bushranger cocktail. This classic drink is perfect for a night out with friends or for enjoying after a long day. Cheers!
