A step up from the classic whiskey ginger, the whiskey gingersnap uses cookie dough whiskey to make this cocktail taste like a gingersnap cookie! With strong notes of spicy ginger and sweet cookie dough, this is a cookie-inspired cocktail perfect for the holidays. Serve with a wedge of lime for extra brightness, or with a gingersnap cookie for a little extra sweetness!
Ingredients for Whiskey Ginger Snap Cocktail
A step up from the classic whiskey ginger, the whiskey gingersnap is made from three ingredients:
- Cookie dough whiskey. The key ingredient that changes this cocktail from a whiskey ginger to a whiskey gingersnap is the type of whiskey! Cookie dough whiskey is sweet with strong notes of cookie dough and vanilla.
- Ginger beer. Ginger beer has a stronger flavor than ginger ale, which gives it a perfectly gingery spice, just like a gingersnap! I love Bundaberg’s ginger beer, but you’re welcome to use your favorite.
- Lime. A squeeze of lime juice adds a nice touch of acidity to brighten the drink and cut through some of the sweetness.
How to Make a Whiskey Gingersnap
Making a whiskey ginger snap cocktail could hardly be easier: Add ice to a lowball or rocks glass, then measure two ounces of cookie dough whiskey into a jigger. Pour the cookie dough whiskey over the ice, top with ginger beer, and finish with a squeeze of lime.
Depending on how strong you like your drinks, you may use less whiskey and more ginger beer to top off the glass.
How to Garnish a Whiskey Gingersnap
A whiskey ginger pairs deliciously with lime, and a whiskey gingersnap is no different. If you have gingersnap cookies on hand, you can top each glass with a cookie. If not, a simple lime wedge garnish works just as well.
