Ingredients:
One thumbnail sized piece of ginger root, peeledProcedure:
Ice
Decent, inexpensive Bourbon Whiskey. I think that W. L. Weller is a great price/performance leader for inexpensive-n-good bourbon, It's around $12/fifth in these parts.
Roughly chop the ginger root, and then crush in a mortar and pestle. If you don't have one of these, you can take a (clean) brick from your yard and whale on it until it's, well, crushedSwirl to combine. Let sit 5 minutes to steep, and serve to a skeptical but soon-to-be-adoring public.
Fill an Old Fashioned glass (half height cocktail glass) with ice
Toss in the ginger root mush and shards
Fill with an ounce and a half of your bourbon
* Platonically, of course.

Now that sounds right tasty. I loves me some ginger. I think I'll have to give that a try.
I made ginger mead a few years ago that was very good, if I do say so myself. It'd warm you up on a cold winter night. It takes quite a bit longer to make though.
Keep in mind that trade in ginger is highly illegal in those regions of Tosev 3 controlled by the Race.... ;-)
Bourbon is always good in ginger ale, so it's no surprise it would be good with ginger.
Weller, being a wheater, will benefit more from the extra spice imparted by the ginger. A high rye recipe like Old Grand Dad, or a straight rye, will stand up to it more.

I like gingerale and Johnny Walker Red. That's a good drink.
