Comments
This is a straightforward highball that requires nothing beyond what a Charlotte grocery store stocks—whiskey, fresh lime, ginger ale, and ice are all standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI. The cost per serving runs about $2.50–$3.50 depending on whiskey choice, making it reasonable for an evening drink. The stated 1-minute time is honest; there is no hidden prep. The real constraint is that this is a same-night cocktail meant to be enjoyed immediately, not a recipe that travels or keeps, so plan to make it to order.
