I legit had no idea ginger ale was supposed to taste like ginger until I was in college and had ginger beer for the first time. Ginger ale is a normal unassuming soda-- ginger beer (the right version anyway) is better than pretty much any other soda.
Yes. Also Blenheim Ginger Ale is good. This was my attempt to clone their good stuff. Not perfect but really close.
9.5 oz (net weight) of peeled ginger 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 cups + 6 cups water 1/4 tsp yeast (white wine or champagne is best but bread yeast will do)
I make mine with a ginger bug. I put the recipe in the non alcoholic thread in the cocktails community. So sort of a sweet ginger lemonade fermented with the natural yeast in the ginger, until it's less sweet.
I just got this too. Ginger ale, especially this brand, was always so bland but I got some anyway. Wow, big difference! It’s a bold flavor but not enough to be “hot” like a Jamaican Ginger
