Lemon Honey Highball

For a long time, I didn't enjoy the taste of alcohol. Obviously this goes for most people, but it took me longer than the usual college kid to find it enjoyable. The first drink I really enjoyed was a gin and tonic, and since then it has been my go-to. But every blue moon I try to mix things up a bit! This is the second cocktail from the three simple syrups I made, one more cocktail to go!

A Highball is basically just whiskey and ginger ale. Well, not just basically...that is what it is. I  stayed away from whiskey for a long time (and still sometimes do) but I have come to appreciate it in certain combinations. Ginger ale and whiskey is a combination that I actually love. I used some of the honey syrup I made and a large squeeze of lemon to jazz things up. Be careful, these are very easy to drink!

Lemon Honey Highball:
2 oz. whiskey
ginger ale
1 tbs honey syrup
1-2 tbs fresh lemon juice
ice

1. Fill glass (preferably a highball glass) with a few ice cubes. Add whiskey, honey syrup and  lemon juice.
2. Fill remainder of glass with ginger ale.
3. Add fresh lemon wedge for garnish and additional lemon flavor.
