Rye & Ginger

About the Rye & Ginger

Sometimes the simplest build is the best one, and Rye & Ginger keeps things about as straightforward as a cocktail gets: Timber Creek’s Florida Black Rye Whiskey, ginger ale, and a lime wedge, built directly over ice. It’s a simple, refreshing cocktail with a spicy ginger kick, where the ginger ale’s sweetness and carbonation meet the rye’s own natural pepperiness, so the spice in the glass comes from two directions at once rather than just one. With only two real ingredients doing the work, the whiskey has nowhere to hide, and Timber Creek’s Florida Black Rye Whiskey is built for exactly this kind of transparency.

Through the distillery’s PureBlend process, the rye grain is distilled and aged in its own barrel separately from the rest of the mash bill before blending, which keeps its characteristic spice intact rather than smoothing it into something more generic. That spice is what turns a basic whiskey and soda into something with actual character. To build it, fill a glass with ice, add the whiskey, top with ginger ale, and give it a gentle stir to combine.

Garnish with a lime wedge, squeezed in or simply dropped on the rim, for a small hit of acidity that keeps the sweetness of the ginger ale in check. There’s no shaking, muddling, or specialty ingredients required, which makes this one of the easiest cocktails in the lineup to pour for a crowd. Its heat and simplicity make it a natural match for spicy buffalo wings or grilled sausages, where the ginger ale’s sweetness tempers the heat on the plate while the rye’s spice keeps pace with it.

It’s a solid choice for a casual gathering, a game day spread, or any occasion where you want something quick and satisfying. Easy to make and easy to drink, remember to pace yourself and drink responsibly.
