Tips & Tricks:
- Choose a whiskey that is mild and not too peaty so that it does not overshadow the freshness of the ginger.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice and agave syrup according to your taste. More lime juice adds tartness, while the agave syrup can increase the sweetness.
- For a non-alcoholic version, the whiskey can be replaced with a non-alcoholic dark spirit or simply more ginger beer and lime juice.
Flavors:
- Spicy Ginger Monkey: Add a shot of freshly squeezed ginger juice or a few slices of fresh ginger for an extra spicy version.
- Tropical Ginger Monkey: Replace part of the ginger beer with pineapple juice for a tropical twist.
- Apple Ginger Monkey: Use æblejuice instead of lime juice for a sweet and fruity version that still has a good acid balance.
