Two names lead this shelf: Canadian Club, the whisky behind the long-standing Kiwi order of CC and dry, and Jameson, the Irish whiskey brand. Wild Moose & Dry is a further option.

Styles of Whisky RTDs

• Whisky and dry: Canadian whisky with dry ginger ale, such as Canadian Club & Dry, in cans or bottles.
• Whiskey, ginger and lime: Jameson Dry & Lime adds a citrus squeeze to Irish whiskey and ginger ale.
• Whiskey and cola: Jameson Raw Cola Zero Sugar and its regular version pair Jameson with cola.

For sweeter, vanilla-led mixes see Bourbon RTDs, or compare Dark Rum RTDs.

How to Choose a Whisky RTD

Start with the mixer. Ginger ale gives a gently spiced, lightly sweet drink, lime makes it fresher, and cola is richer and sweeter. Zero sugar versions taste drier. Strength runs from 4.8% to 7%, so compare the ABV on each listing.

Whisky RTD FAQs

What is dry ginger ale?

Dry ginger ale is a lightly sweet, gently spiced ginger soda, milder and less fiery than ginger beer. The word dry means it is less sugary than older, sweeter ginger ales. It is the classic mixer for Canadian whisky.

What kind of whisky is Canadian Club?

Canadian Club is a Canadian blended whisky, first made in the 1850s by Hiram Walker in Ontario. It is known for a light, smooth style with vanilla and gentle spice, which is why it mixes so easily with dry ginger ale.

What is the difference between whisky and whiskey?

Whisky and whiskey are the same spirit with different spellings. Scotland, Canada and Japan usually write whisky, while Ireland and most American producers use whiskey. That is why the label reads Canadian Club whisky but Jameson Irish whiskey.
