Here are a few examples. These cocktails include the Paloma (Moscow Mule), Paloma (Whiskey Highball) and Paloma (Paloma).
Pimm's cup

First, fill a tall glass filled with ice to make a Pimm's Cup. Then, add the Pimms's and ginger beer. Finish the drink by garnishing it with a slice of lemon.
Moscow mule
A Moscow mule cocktail consists of lime juice and ginger ale. The traditional way to serve it is in a copper vessel. This ensures that the drink remains icy cold. It can also served in a regular glass. First, mix the vodka and lime juice together with the ice cubes. Next, pour in the ginger beer and garnish with a lime wedge.
Ginger Beer gives the Moscow Mule a spicy taste. Use a high-quality vodka to make the drink maturer and more flavorful. Tito's brand would be a good choice. Fresh limes should be used to make the lime juice. Never use bottled Lime Juice.
Paloma
Make a Paloma Martini by adding ginger beer. This will add some spice to your Paloma cocktail. Also, if you don't like ginger, try sweetening it with honey syrup. You can also add more sparkling water.
Palomas doesn't use ginger beer as an ingredient, but it will give the drink its unique ginger flavor. Club soda, or any other fizzy beverage can be substituted. This is a wonderful drink to enjoy during holiday celebrations.
Whiskey Highball
The Whiskey Highball cocktail is made with whiskey and ginger ale. Unlike most other whiskey cocktails, this one does not require a special mixer. This cocktail is best served in a highball glass with ice. Once you have ice in place, add ginger beer. The whiskey should be added next. Stir it with a wooden spoon. Garnish with an orange peel if you like.
Scotch and ginger beer blend well together. This is especially true for blended whiskies which combine malt whiskies and grain whiskies. You can find ginger beer in many forms and it's a perfect ingredient for making Highballs.

How To
How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock wrote the first description of it in his book, "The Savoy Bar Book", (1930). The cocktail is made up of equal amounts of sweet, dry, and rye whisky. It's mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters orange juice, maraschino Cherry, or Angostura bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold glass. Its origins date back to the 19th century when it was called the Four Deuces because it contained two measures of whisky, two measures of rye, and two measures of gin. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be used equally. Use equal amounts of each ingredient to make a Manhattan. Take two shots each of rye, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, and sweet vermouth. You will need eight shots of the gin. Mix them all together, and let it sit for 15 mins. Strain the mixture, and then serve. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
