One of the best Irish whiskeys money can buy, Jameson is a standard among many, from those just getting into whiskey to devoted fans. It's ideal served on the rocks or prepared neat as a slow sipper, but there are also plenty of simple additions to elevate your imbibing experience. Tasting Table spoke to expert Chris Walster, Whisky Connoisseur at The Cask Connoisseur, for recommendations for the all-time best mixers for Jameson, which include lemonade, soda water, ginger ale, coffee, and apple juice.

Walster makes an excellent point about Jameson's fruity notes, which, along with hints of floral flavors and rich sweetness, provide a complementary base for a variety of different mixers to create a well-rounded cocktail. All fairly obvious choices, the beauty of each one is that they allow the tastes of Jameson to shine through without overpowering the whiskey.

Try an Irish twist on a classic Lynchburg lemonade recipe by swapping in Jameson for the standard Jack Daniels. Walster says that lemonade is one of the "long standing favorite mixers" for whiskey, and with good reason. The tangy citrus drink is a perfectly tart counter to Jameson's sweetness. To make a Jameson Irish lemonade, you'll need a ratio of approximately one part whiskey to two parts lemonade, which you can adjust to suit your personal preferences. Served over ice, this is a refreshing sipping beverage.
