Ginger Ale



Ginger ale is a solid soft drink that does not get nearly enough credit. As I sit here sipping a nice cold glass of it, I thought I would give it some much needed and overdue props.

When I was young(er) we used to visit my aunt and uncle every Christmas eve. When I was offered a drink ginger ale was always an option and always my first choice. Whenever the bubbles tickle my nose I almost always think of my Uncle.

Another good thing about ginger ale is that it is more fizzy than every other pop. Why is this good you ask? Well, I will tell you. Being a young, but of drinking age, girl I like to mix different things togeaher to make good drinks. I always want my drinks to be a little fizzy but when I mix my alcohol with pop the pop almost always looses it's fizz withing a few minutes. Ginger ale not only keeps it's fizz when mixed but also manages to mask the taste on the vodka. It's a beautiful thing.

I'm also a fan of ginger ale!

I like candied ginger too, though you can't mix it with rum.

Maybe it's a Tschirhart thing, Peter always has some... unless he's buying it when he knows I am coming over. Although I hadn't confessed my love for ginger ale until this very blog post.
