Yum. The Little Lady liked this a lot. Sierra Mist has a new variety out -- Cranberry -- and we opted to use that since we didn't have any ginger ale. The Mr. said it made the drink seem a little too "girly" but I think that's only because it turned it an oh-so-beautiful shade of PINK. Give this one a try with ginger ale or Sierra Mist Cranberry. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

1-1/2 oz. Irish Whiskey

1/2 oz. vanilla vodka

1/2 lime

3 oz. ginger ale (we used Cranberry Sierra Mist)

1 lime wedge, for garnish

Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.

Add the whiskey, vodka, and juice from 1/2 a lime to a shaker filled with ice.

Shake the mixture vigorously for 5 to 10 seconds.

Pour the contents of the shaker into the glass.

Add the ginger ale to the glass, garnish with a lime wedge and stir.

A Note From The LL: Feel free to substitute scotch, bourbon, or rye whiskey for the Irish whiskey.
