We have been creating a lot of cocktail and mocktail recipes for our upcoming Twelve Cocktails/Mocktails of Christmas, and we are using a lot of ginger ale or ginger beer...so it was time to add in a fresh easy ginger ale recipe.
The difference between ginger ale and ginger beer is pretty simple; ginger ale is a ginger flavoured drink that is carbonated with soda or sparkling water. Ginger beer is a brewed drink, often non alcoholic, but it can also be alcoholic. It is usually a little bit stronger in ginger flavour than ginger ale. So there you have it in a nutshell.
We will create ginger beer one of these days too, but this is simple and quick and really great to have handy in your fridge for a mixer. Enjoy.
