Notes
- Ginger ale brand: One brand of ginger beer I like to use is Fever Tree Ginger Beer, and I have never had any trouble tracking it down. I have found it in many liquor stores or grocery chains in their cocktail or soda departments. It has a terrific amount of ginger spiciness and isn’t too sweet.
- Ginger beer swap: If you like sweeter drinks, you can tweak the recipe by swapping ginger beer for ginger ale or adding just a pinch of sugar or simple syrup to your mocktail.
- Copper mug: If you don't have a copper mug, feel free to use a cocktail glass such as an old-fashioned whiskey glass (short and wide) or a Collins (tall tumbler-style). While it is traditional to use copper, it will still taste great in a regular glass!
