I cannot see the video
I prefer to make a homemade ginger brew but I was saving that for another show. Reeds is tasty but I recently moved to Bed Stuy, Brooklyn where they have the very delicious and peppery "Jamaican Ginger Beer" which is so good! Way better than Reeds! The bottle has a 60's looking Blue Pink Panther on it..it is sweetened with sugar instead of corn syrup and boy is it good! Find it and write me all about it..Kay? Thanks so much for your input!!!!
Miss Flighty,
You may remember me from your Mary Ann With Ginger cocktail asking about infusions. I have a lot to say, so I apologize if this post is too long. If memory serves, in your Ginger Syrup episode, you mentioned that you couldn't find a good ginger ale with real ginger flavor. I think I may have found what you're looking for. You can order any of these from the internet.
'Reed's Original Ginger Brew' has an incredible taste of ginger. It's from Jamaica. Order it from the internet, or see if your local health food store carries it. Try it. I can't convey in words how strongly of ginger this stuff tastes. That's why I put it first.
'Boylan Bottleworks' Ginger Ale. This company makes great sodas, you should try the Black Cherry and tell me it doesn't inspire you. Anyway, haven't tried their ginger ale, but I'll be ordering a case soon because I've heard good things.
'Blenheim Ginger Ale'. I might order this once I'm finished with my case of Boylan's.
As you've said many times before, R and D is so important, and as a young and budding mixologist, I just wanted to pass my enthusiasm about these particular ginger ales to you.
Sincerely,
Disco Volante
P.S. Could you please tell me what brand you use in this video?
She didn't slap the garnish before serving >:(
