What spirit with 1642 Ginger Beer?
First of all, a few clarifications. A ginger beer is not a ginger ale. It warms the throat and tastes like ginger. Although it has the word beer in its name, ginger beer does not contain alcohol! You either love it or you hate it. We love it, of course. An ounce or two of ginger beer gives your cocktail a kick! It is often recommended to mix ginger beer with an exotic juice: pineapple, peach, mango, apricot. It's wonderful!
Another trick to sweeten the spiciness of ginger beer: Add a little maple syrup!
Gin please!
At first glance, you wouldn't think ginger beer and gin would mix well. We did the test for you. Conclusion: it's surprising! We recommend you drink it in a cocktail rather than alone with a spirit. The London Mule recipe is perfect for mixing Gin and Ginger Beer. Otherwise, it is perfect in a Dark 'n' Stormy or the famous Moscow Mule!
