Refreshing and crisp, these 25 ginger ale cocktails will take you to a whole new level of 21+ enjoyment!

It’s time to give your Ginger Ale bottle a new spin!

For a while now, ginger ale has been a staple in the beverage industry.

Drinks made with ginger ale, which date back to the 1850s, have long been a popular choice for thirsty cocktail drinkers.

Ginger ale is a fizzy, sweet beverage, flavored with ginger root, and it enhances the flavor of any cocktail it’s added to.

Using regular ginger ale results in a slightly sweeter and mildly ginger-spiced beverage.

(Ginger beer is a bit different, in that even the nonalcoholic variety has a much stronger ginger flavor than ginger ale.)

Everything from the classy Cosmopolitan Party Punch to the luscious White Sangria, we’ll have something for you!

Then there’s the Tequila & Ginger Ale if you prefer something a little more warming.

As for #24, prepare yourself for an incredible cocktail experience!

Whether you prefer it straight up (on the rocks, natch) or in a cocktail, ginger ale can go great with just about anything.

With that in mind, here are the finest ginger ale cocktails we could find on the web!

1. Whiskey & Ginger Ale

Whiskey and Ginger Ale is a great pairing: the spiciness of the liquor melds with the subtle sweetness and bubbliness of the ale.
