Mamie Taylor Whisky Cocktail Recipe

MAMIE TAYLOR COCKTAIL RECIPE

Fresh - Intermediate - Highball glass

The Mamie Taylor cocktail is a popular Scotch classic from the early 20th century. Tall and refreshing, this whisky cocktail follows a similar format of a whisky highball, featuring carbonation and lots of ice.
The Mamie Taylor though, adds plenty of zingy ginger in the form of ginger juice and ginger ale. Ginger ale is a good mixer for whisky beginners, due to ginger being ideal for balancing the depth of whisky. Enjoy!
