Going out tonight? You need to try this ginger and fig fizz - a whisky cocktail with a kick to kick-start your weekend

When thinking of whisky, it can be hard for our brain not to jump to the classic image of Don Draper in Mad Men sipping a glass of whisky on the rocks - normally it's hard for our brain not to jump to Don Draper full stop. Yet whisky need not be served only as a stiff drink. Here Johnnie Walker shares the perfect Whisky cocktail - a fig and ginger fizz. Their fig and ginger fizz is the perfect balance of sweet from the fig, with a kick of spice from the ginger and everything nice from the fuzzy feeling of sitting back and relaxing with this cheeky tipple! You NEED to try.
