Sips & Tips
Technique
Use ginger beer instead of ginger ale for more spice and complexity. The lemon juice adds brightness that ties the gin's botanicals to the ginger.
Balance
A London Dry gin works best here — its juniper-forward character stands up to the ginger. The lemon juice is the bridge between the two flavors.

Variations
