Homemade Ginger Ale Syrup & Ginger Ale Mocktail with step wise pictorial and video method.
Ginger ale syrup is a concentrated, sweet liquid made from ginger, sugar and water.
It is something which is made a basis of many of the mocktails and cocktails. The taste of the drinks made with ginger ale syrup is spicy, sweet and slightly tangy due to the ginger.
Ginger ale syrup is not a drink in itself but a base for the syrup. Here’s a list of some of the drinks you can try with homemade ginger ale syrup:
1. Classic Ginger Ale: A combination of ginger ale syrup with carbonated water makes a classic ginger ale. You have to adjust the syrup to your taste preference because carbonated water is not sweet in itself.
2. Ginger Lemonade: This is as good as Classic Ginger Ale with the addition of fresh lemon juice for a zesty ginger lemonade. Add ice and lemon slices for garnish.
3. Ginger Beer Mocktail: Not much different. It has only a pinch of salt in addition to what is gone is Ginger Lemonade
4. Moscow Mule Mocktail: To make this mocktail, first make Ginger Lemonade and serve in a copper mug with ice and garnish with a lime wedge and mint.
5. Ginger Ale Float: Pour ginger ale over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a refreshing ginger ale float.
6. Ginger Mojito Mocktail: This is exactly what Moscow Mule Mocktail is. Only difference is it uses muddled mint leaves. Serve over ice with a lime wedge.
7. Ginger Apple Spritz: Mix ginger ale syrup with apple juice and a splash of soda water. Add a cinnamon stick for extra flavor.
8. Spiced Ginger Tea: Add ginger ale syrup to iced tea along with a splash of lemon juice. This adds a sweet and spicy twist to your regular iced tea.
9. Ginger Cranberry Cooler: Ginger ale syrup, cranberry juice and soda water, these are the three ingredients of this mocktail. Serve chilled with a few cranberries as garnish.
10. Ginger Tonic: Mix ginger ale syrup with tonic water and a splash of lime juice. Serve over ice with a lime wedge. These drinks can be adjusted to your taste by varying the amount of ginger ale syrup and adding other ingredients like herbs, fruit slices or spices.
