Duke Bushido Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 but one of my favorite (nonalcoholic) sipping refreshments involves Bold Ginger Ale, and in particular, Canada Dry Bold Ginger Ale (which is strange, because Canada Dry is not my favorite ginger ale, but their bold is my favorite bold). Not by itself, though. Shake in some cinnamon. Yes, it's a serious PITA to stir in. If you've gotten the ratio correct, it's also _totally_ worth it. (Don't buy it all up, please. Leave some for me....) Brian Stanfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 You are probably safe as I don't think it is on sale this side of the Atlantic. Canada Dry is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Currently tippling a 4 pack of Schwepps' 1783 Heritage ginger ale. Last drank: Fever-Tree's Smokey Ginger Ale. Wasn't impressed, which is a shame 'cause I like FT's regular ginger ale & ginger beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I preferred Schweppes too. Never tried the heritage, but I dropped all soft drinks several years ago when I found out my blood was doing a good imitation of syrup. That actually sounds really good; cinnamon and ginger play quite nicely with each other. Hmm...I need to get some processed ginger, the dried doesn't ever cut it. Almod flour muffins...or the occasional pancake (not very big, mind)...with ginger and cinnamon. I love using cake spice for this, but my favorite spice dealer dropped theirs. The only problem in ginger ale is, it obviously goes flat in the process of mixing it in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 My folks at home drank bourbon & ginger ale. Hadn't heard of adding cinnamon before. Will have to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I’m not a big fan of cinnamon but I do like ginger ale mixed half & half with either iced tea, or lemonade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iuz the Evil Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Fever Tree ginger beer and bourbon... Oh, non alcoholic. Hmmm. I guess I'll go with coca cola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Not a fan of ginger, ale, or cinnamon. But if you take vanilla cream soda and add some Hershey caramel ice cream syrup, it tastes like the Butterbeer they sell at the Harry Potter theme parks. It's good either chilled or frozen. The Butterbeer, not the Harry Potter theme parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Water for me...but not bottled water. All bottled water tastes like what I imagine cardboard tastes like. Filtered tap water would be my preference. The wife is a dedicated coffee drinker...like "Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" coffee drinker. Otherwise she goes for regular bottled water or the occasional Pellegrino. Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 The majority of non-alcoholic drinks I consume is tea, water, and seltzer. Soda is a special once in a while treat, so I want it to be quality when I do drink one. Or, horchata when we go to the local Mexican place for carry-out.

I’ve seen the commercials for some booze that’s a blend of horchata and rum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 The booze in question is Rumchata, which is a personal fav of mine and is great to dip Oreos in. Horchata This restaurant does it homemade -- not too sweet or too gritty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Rumchata sounds like a type of martial art practiced while drinking rum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Bruins Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I like ginger ale, particularly for a queasy stomach. Also pretty good to drink when at a bar if I don't feel like imbibing—a glass of pale champagne-looking liquid fits in a lot better than cola in a glass. 6 hours ago, Greywind said: I'm a Pepper.
