Lately I have
been suffering from an enthusiasm for brandy mixed with ginger beer. I have been buying Bundaberg but I am sure
there are many good brands out there.
Originally I had it as a treat and had the normal one until my better
half read the label and pointed out the shocking level of sugar in it.
So now I use
the diet one – it tastes pleasant but not as nice – sigh… But it only has 1.2g
of sugar per 100ml compared to 11g in
the full strength one.
At least the
ginger beer doesn’t have any alcohol content.
I remember we
used to make ginger beer at home as a kid with some sort of starter – you ended
up with masses of bottles and if you didn’t drink them soon enough some would
explode!
I don't know as I have ever had ginger beer! May have to try it. And you mix brandy with it?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a youngster we used to drink what was called a "brandy and dry" which is a bit of brandy (not cognac) mixed with ginger ale. So the ginger beer is a variation on a very old theme.
