BIG GINGER

Serves 1.

Note: This is Kieran Folliard's signature drink with a trademarked name. He recommends using an "off the shelf" ginger ale, rather than an artisan version, which will overpower the flavor.

• Ice

• 2 oz. (1/4 c.) Irish whiskey (Folliard recommends his 2 Gingers whiskey)

• 1 c. ginger ale

•Wedge of lime and lemon for garnish

Directions

Fill a collins (tall, narrow) glass with ice and pour whiskey over it. Add the ginger ale, garnish with the lemon and lime.
