Squid Mixes: Gin and Ginger

Gin and ginger, as the name suggests, combines gin with ginger ale.  In fact, it's just like last week's drink except with ginger ale rather than ginger beer.  The result is sweeter and less gingery, perfect if you like a hint of the stuff without blowing out your sinuses.  My recipe came from The New York Bartender's Guide.

  3. Unfortunately, since I quit drinking soda, I'm not a fan of ginger ale anymore.

    1. Completely irrationally, I think of ginger ale as being healthier than other sodas.

    2. There may be some that are, but the mass market varieties are going to be just as full of sugar as any other soda. Ginger ale may be worse, actually, since, for most people, you really have to cut the bite of the ginger with lots of sugar.

  4. Ginger is tasty which is why its found in drinks, food and biscuits. My favourite is ginger butter biscuits and often, I gobble down the whole pack - unless the cookie monster comes home for dinner, lol.

    1. That sound's lovely. Paul Newman's Ginger-Os are a favorite of mine.
