Description

Vodka and Ginger Ale is not complicated, but that does not mean it has to be dull. Good vodka gives a clean base, ginger ale adds gentle spice and sweetness, and a squeeze of lime turns it from a basic mixed drink into something crisp and drinkable.

It is the kind of serve you make when you want speed, reliability and a lighter touch than ginger beer. Keep it cold, use plenty of ice, and garnish it properly; the simplicity is the point.
