The Twisted Highball is September 19th Drink of the Day!!
I was just talking to someone yesterday about the uniqueness of ginger beer. It has that flavor you’ll not find in any other beverage. Plus, you can use it as a mix with some of your favorite liquors, such as vodka for the Moscow Mule and the Dark n’ Stormy for your rum drinkers out there. Today I’m going to introduce you to another. Bourbon has a enough character to enhance any mixed whiskey drink. But, with the special flavor of the ginger beer to go with the flavor of bourbon, I may have found my favorite drink! If you like ginger ale and would like to get more ginger flavor, give ginger beer a try. It will enhance any booze you’re mixing it with. In fact, it will take your drink to new limits!

1 1/2 oz. Bourbon
3 - 4 oz. Ginger Beer
Wedge of Lime
Method: In a highball glass filled with ice, begin by pouring in the bourbon. Top off the glass with ginger beer. Squeeze a wedge of lime in and stir.
