Stormy Ridge

AI-generatedMediumHighball

A layered storm in a glass — fiery ginger crackles through sweet maple while bourbon anchors everything with brooding oak.


Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 oz Bourbon
  • 1/2 oz Maple syrup
  • 2 1/2 oz Ginger beer
  • 1 1/2 oz Club soda

Method

  1. 11. Add 50 ml bourbon and 15 ml maple syrup to a shaker with ice and shake for 10 seconds.
  2. 22. Strain into a highball glass filled with crushed ice.
  3. 33. Pour 75 ml ginger beer slowly down the side of the glass.
  4. 44. Float 45 ml club soda on top by pouring over the back of a bar spoon.
  5. 55. Do not stir — allow the layers to naturally diffuse as the drink is sipped.
  6. 66. Serve immediately while carbonation is at its peak.

PRO TIP

Crushed ice is key here — it chills faster and creates a textured surface that helps the soda float and maintains the dramatic layered effect longer.

Garnish — thin maple drizzle across the foam
