Fever-Tree is helping us celebrate World Whiskey Day in style

World Whiskey Day: Saturday, May 16.
Here at The G&G, we are big whiskey fans. We like it neat, we like it topped with a mixer, and we like it jazzed up and dressed to the nines in a boujee cocktail.Â
We’re not alone in our love of whiskey—the spirit is rapidly growing in popularity among younger and older drinkers alike, and we’re seeing a rise in quality drops (and mixers) hitting the market.Â
Alongside their classic range of mixers, Fever-Tree has recently introduced two new delicious flavours to their gingers range: the Smoky Ginger Ale, and Spiced Orange Ginger Ale. Better yet, in celebration of World Whiskey Day, Fever-Tree has reached out to some of Australia’s leading whiskey aficionados to share their favourite whiskey cocktail recipes that we can all recreate at home!
