Southern Zing

Cocktail Description

The Southern Zing delivers a perfect balance of whiskey warmth and zippy ginger spice that'll make your taste buds do a little dance.

This refreshing highball combines the fruity sweetness of Southern Comfort with the bright acidity of fresh lime juice, all anchored by the complex spice notes from Angostura bitters and topped with the peppery kick of ginger beer. It's remarkably simple to make—just a quick shake of the base ingredients before topping with ginger beer—making it perfect for casual entertaining when you want something more interesting than a basic mixed drink but don't want to spend all night playing bartender. The Southern Zing works beautifully on warm summer evenings or as a pre-dinner drink, with the ginger notes stimulating the appetite. Food-wise, it pairs wonderfully with spicy dishes like Nashville hot chicken or bold BBQ flavors, as the sweetness and effervescence help cool the palate between bites.
