Alcoholic ginger beer is a tasty drink on its own, but it also adds a real zing to a cocktail. If you drink it neat it tastes best cold, or poured over ice. It makes a fantastic ice cream sorbet, especially if you use good quality vanilla ice cream.
Ginger beer’s deep, smoky and warm flavour goes especially well with rum. You can make a good cocktail with either white or dark rum, but the nicest combination is definitely with dark rum. The easiest rum cocktail and alcoholic ginger beer cocktail is A Furlong Too Late. You make it by simply mixing 4 flozs of ginger beer with 2 flozs of white rum. For a easy dark rum cocktail try a Dark and Stormy which you make by mixing 2 flozs of dark rum into an glass full of alcoholic ginger beer and ice. Finish the cocktail by running a lime around the rim, and adding another wedge to the cocktail.
Alcoholic ginger beer mixes well with most other beers. The best candidates are ginger ale and apple cider or pear cider. Most people mix them half-and-half, but it is up to you what ratios you use. To make an easy but tasty beer punch combine a bottle of light lager with a bottle of alcoholic ginger beer, a splash of soda water, 2 fl oz of gin and 0.5 floz of lemon juice. Garnish with lemons and slices or cubes of fresh ginger.
Non-alcoholic ginger beer is often mixed with whiskey, bourbon, tequila or vodka. The alcoholic version of ginger beer works just as well as a mixer with those spirits. Some people also like it mixed with gin, especially lightly flavoured gins like Gordon’s. If you do mix it with gin, serve it in a sugared glass.
Alcoholic ginger beer makes a lovely syrup that you can pour onto ice cream or soft fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Make it by combining it with sugar and simmering it, until it thickens, stir to stop it burning or sticking.
