The twelve cocktails of Christmas
#2: The whisky mac
The whisky mac is a is a wonderfully warming mix of whisky and green ginger wine. Named after a Colonel Macdonald who invented it while serving in India, the whisky mac is a great antidote to the cold, damp British weather.
I make it with a 1:1 ratio, but some recipes call for up to three times the amount of whisky to wine.
- a decent blended whisky, such as Famous Grouse
- green ginger wine (Crabbie’s or Stone’s)
- Add equal amounts of whisky and ginger wine to a highball glass and stir to combine.
- Ice and shortbread optional.
So handy, I was just looking for the cocktail ideas. Thank you, Andrea, very much for the recommendations, I look forward to see the other 11 of 12 🙂
You are most welcome, Yana!
