The Presbyterian is a spicy classic cocktail with ginger ale and Scotch whisky that you'll come back to again and again. Use bourbon or rye to switch things up.

Scotch vs. other whiskeys: Use your favorite Scotch here. You can use your favorite whiskey in this recipe to fit your preferences. Rye whiskey offers a little more of a bite and bourbon is sweeter.

Non-alcoholic option: Use a zero-proof whiskey alternative and non-alcoholic bitters for a non-alcoholic version of this drink.
