What is Ginger Snap?
The Ginger Snap cocktail is a bright, botanical gin drink layered with warming ginger spice and clean citrus notes. Built around Hayman’s London Dry Gin, this cocktail balances ginger liqueur and ginger ale with fresh lemon juice and a hint of orange from Cointreau, creating a refreshing yet slightly spicy sip that feels lively without being aggressive. It’s the kind of cocktail that sneaks up on you in the best way.
Perfect for cooler evenings or anytime you want something refreshing with backbone, the Ginger Snap sits comfortably between a Gin Fizz and a Mule-style drink. If you enjoy gin-forward cocktails with personality, this fits beautifully alongside classics like the French 75 or even a lighter take on a Moscow Mule.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
