Press Release

Chattanooga, TN (July 2025) – Chattanooga Whiskey today announces a new limited time offering: Ginger Infused Highball. Made with all-natural ingredients, 100% straight bourbon whiskey, and only four grams of  sugar, Ginger Infused marks the company’s first ready-to-drink canned seltzer – specifically crafted for warm  weather and outdoor enjoyment. 

Inspired by the effervescent "whiskey highball" style, Ginger Infused is a carbonated, whiskey-based seltzer,  crafted with five all-natural ingredients: lemon peel, orange peel, dried ginger, lemongrass, and gentian. This  vibrant blend of botanicals is infused into Chattanooga Whiskey’s signature recipe (Chattanooga Whiskey 91),  which allows the aged whiskey to extract the full range of bright and refreshing flavors from the whole  ingredients. After more than a week of infusion time, the whiskey is then blended with a hint of sugar and  carbonated water before being canned at a flavorful yet approachable 8% ABV. 

“During the development of our first canned cocktail, we noticed that most hard seltzers use neutral spirits to lighten the flavor and lab-made flavors to simplify and intensify the flavor. Our goal with Ginger Infused was to  capture a fuller spectrum of flavors found within real ingredients and real bourbon, while still delivering a light and refreshing profile.”
- Grant McCracken, Founding Distiller 

Although the Ginger Infused Highball is a slight departure from Chattanooga Whiskey’s range of full-strength,  malt-forward spirits, this limited-time offering is not entirely unfamiliar territory for the distillery. Since 2020, the  company has garnered a passionate following for their wide range of all-natural, whiskey-based liqueurs – found  within their prolific Experimental Single Batch Series. 

Ginger Infused continues with this tried and true approach, while making a few key adjustments. Rather than  bottling a full-strength spirit into a 750ml bottle, the infused whiskey is blended with a touch of sugar, carbonated  water, and packaged in a more convenient 12-ounce can. This approach is meant to deliver the same flavor  integrity of a high-end cocktail, while offering the refreshing quality of a lower-alcohol, low sugar canned seltzer. 

“Every Chattanooga Whiskey expression has a unique story, and is crafted for a different occasion,”
McCracken  added. “Ginger Infused Highball takes everything we’ve learned from our infused liqueurs, but tweaks the strength,  the brightness, and the sweetness to create – pun intended – something totally fresh. While our Infused Liqueurs are  world class, full strength cocktails in a bottle, our Ginger Infused Highball is a next-level, hand-crafted canned  cocktail, made to enjoy at any moment.”  

With just four grams of sugar per can and an 8% ABV, Ginger Infused Highball contains approximately 2.4 ounces  of 80-proof whiskey per 12-ounce serving. Available in 4-packs at a suggested retail price of $16.99, Ginger Infused  Highball will be available for a limited time at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery and select  retailers in Tennessee and Georgia.
