Dry Ginger Ale for Mature Tastes

[Ruth n Jersey]

We use to drink a lot of soda but got away from it. Now we drink ice tea. Once in awhile I do like Canada Dry ginger ale mixed with a little fruit juice. Growing up in the 50's my mom always had a bottle of celery tonic in the refrigerator. I hated the stuff. To me it tasted like what a cigar smells like.

Have you tried Vernor's? You used to only be able to get it in Michigan but it's all over now. It's pretty strong. I used to live right around the corner from the Vernor's plant and you could stand on the sidewalk and look through large windows at the operation.

That's the brand we used to drink in the 60s and 70s in Cleveland. I've not seen it in Nevada, so when I crave ginger ale I buy Canada Dry.

Been wanting some ginger ale lately and they don't sell the GUS brand I liked in the stores anymore, always seems I like something and they stop having it.

Anyhoo, since I was going for a less sweet ginger ale, the next best thing that's available now is Q brand. We've tried the ginger beer too in that brand, a little sweeter and spicier, they use chili peppers. We have both in the fridge now, the bottles are tiny and it's pricey, but we just sip it and don't really drink it for thirst, so good enough for now. Their site HERE.

I like to have ginger ale around at the holidays. Ginger ale and cranberry juice make a good drink.
