A carbonated sweet beverage flavoured with ginger that’s a popular mixer for cocktails.
In Britain, ginger beer was made on a small scale for centuries and its sweetness and alcohol levels varied. Most of the ginger beer produced now is commercially produced on a large scale and is sweet and alcohol-free or very low in alcohol. Ginger beer, and its close relative, ginger ale, is a popular mixer for cocktails.
Try this classic, refreshing cocktail with your favourite rum. Experiment with a homemade ginger syrup and soda water for a nice alternative to ginger beer.
There are still a few small-scale producers making good, traditional ginger beers, which are well worth seeking out. If you can’t find ginger beer, substitute with ginger ale.
Ginger beer is not made for long-term storage. Follow ‘best by’ dates and store in a cool place.
