Ingredients & substitutions

  • Whiskey – We used Jameson Irish whiskey, but any Irish whiskey will substitute fine.
  • Lime juice – This recipe really works best with fresh squeezed lime juice.
  • Ginger beer – We always prefer to buy Fever-Tree brand, they offer a light version of ginger beer that has a remarkable ginger flavor.
