  It is served at bar of a luxury liner in The Avengers, Episode 30 (Season 2, episode 5) entitled “Mission to Montreal” at about 26 minutes into the show.

  I was served this at a very expensive “Gentleman’s club” in Buckinghamshire , England, UK, ( which used to be owned by Playboy) in a tall glass with crushed ice, can’t remember the whisky, but I think the ginger ale was Schweppes (Canada Dry associate) and they referred to it as a Scotch and American, as stated by ‘Passer-by’, which is great, as most people give me a strange look and bar persons I request it from. I have to explain what it is, so thanks, Passer-by, I’m not going mad!!!!

  Stumbled upon this concoction and I am pleasantly pleased by it. I use the smaller cans, it's a good ratio.

  Stumbled on this recipe by accident. Really enjoyable. Light, refreshing, and depending on the Scotch various tastes occur.

  This is good. I use Monkey Shoulder Scotch and Canada Dry ginger Ale. Just a smidgen of the ginger ale though. The Monkey Shoulder Scotch is nice even without any mixer.Slice of lemon on the rim too. 3 or 4 of these before bedtime and the bed bugs won't bite.

  Try this just as the recipe states but add a liberal dash of angostura bitters. I prefer making this with a single malt at least 10 year old

  In 1975 I attended a formal reception aboard the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Kent, a handsome ship decommissioned a few years later. I accepted an offer of Scotch and something, not quite getting the request in the noise of conversations on deck, and received a Scotch and ginger ale. I assumed someone had mistakenly substituted ginger ale for soda water. A discreet inquiry - I didn't want to offend my hosts - revealed that this is or was then a popular combination. As others note here, it is an interesting drink.

  I'm used to drinking scotch either neat or on the rocks. I decided to give it a try with Ginger Ale tonight. Really think scotch on the rocks is the way to go; this just killed too many of the flavors of the scotch.
