Respect for tradition mixed with a willingness to turn it on its head just hit the libationary jackpot. Presenting Fresh Ginger Lime Rye Smash. Inspired by the Moscow Mule, it strikes a unique balance between the spicy warmth of ginger, a juicy citrus hit and a hint of 100% Rye whiskey. And not just any Rye whiskey. Award-winning WhistlePig PiggyBack 100% Rye. It’s slightly dry, like the best jokes. Generously effervescent. Like the best friends. The perfect drink before a barbecue or after a summer day.

Nearly no head, even the rim bubbles are dissipating. No lace. Cloudy and dirty straw color.

Strong ginger aroma, similar to a ginger ale, although not sweet.

The high carbonation is immediately evident. Also this is sweet enough to be wine spritzer. Almost candy like in the sweetness. More like an alcoholic seltzer than a beer. In short I get no rye whatsoever. Think ginger ale soda.
