The Dublin Spider
The Dublin Spider is a cocktail that most of us will recognise, but didn’t know we were making it wrong all these years. Mixing whiskey and ginger ale is a combination most of us have made at one time or another, but who knew we were only one ingredient away from making a classic cocktail?
Adding a few dashes of Angostura Bitters transforms a Whiskey and Ginger Ale into a Dublin Spider, making a sensationally balanced classic cocktail that is far more than just the sum of its parts!
Why Irish Whiskey Matters
Using a high-quality Irish whiskey will accentuate the flavour of this simple yet delightful cocktail. Irish whiskey is softer and smoother than either Scotch or Bourbon, and its use in this cocktail brings out its subtlety perfectly.
