Ginger Beer tops off mixed drinks with a zesty ginger kick. Ginger beer delivers an invigorating bubbly thrill to the taste buds. If you are looking for a change from the run of the mill tonic and soda for your vodka and gin based drinks, give ginger beer a whirl. Regatta Ginger Beer could the spiced bubbly for you.

Regatta Ginger Beer boasts a ginger “bite” without the “ginger burn” often found in other more peppery Jamaican ginger beers. The secondary layering of fruit notes in the Regatta Ginger Beer brings depth of character to rum and whiskey based cocktails. Hints of citrus, apple and banana add spark and energy to a drink to bring it to a new level of flavor.

About Ginger Beer

What exactly is ginger beer? Ginger beer is more carbonated than its ginger ale counterpart. It contains deeper ginger spice than ginger ale and is usually non-alcoholic. Some ginger beer is brewed as an alcoholic beverage with alcohol content exceeding 9%. Ginger beer containing alcohol is labeled appropriately. Non-alcoholic ginger beer is not brewed with fermentation process. It is carbonated with pressurized carbon dioxide like popular soft drinks. Some use ginger beer and ginger ale for medicinal purposes, but its primary production use in the United States is that of a soft drink.

Ginger beer can be consumed straight from the bottle or served over ice. Many like to use it in mixed drinks in the same way club soda, tonic water or colas are used. Ginger beer is a traditional mixer in the Dark & Stormy and Moscow Mule {served in a copper cup}.
