A while ago, I saw Tanyou published an interesting article "Drinking Conversation Method" , which is suitable for use in any place, such as parents, brothers and sisters, significant other, girlfriends, cats, myself, etc. It is very practical, and It can also set off a wave of discussion.

If I were to describe myself as a drink, I'd say I'm like... "Ginger Ale"

Disguised as Sprite, but compared to Sprite, the bubbles taste less punchy and not too sweet. It is quite suitable as a base to match with any beverage. For soft drinks, it is timeless. Classic style.

I'm really embarrassed to say this, but after seeing the article about visiting friends for the first time, I seriously felt that I really looked like ginger ale. It is a low-key role in the drink, just like myself, not particularly outstanding, but if it is a one-on-one chat mode, no matter who can chat, but if it is a group conversation, it seems quite silent.

Ginger ale is great for one person, but if you drink it together, no one will say it's particularly good or bad. But I just like this feeling, the ordinary in the low-key is probably the impression I give everyone.

By the way, the first time I drank ginger ale was in a Japanese liquor store. Originally, I ordered ginger ale because I didn't want to drink. I want to try it. After all, it is rare in Taiwan. Water is more.

I fell in love with its taste from the first sip of it.

The history of ginger ale

 Ginger ale was invented in Toronto, Canada in 1890, when the recipe was to add juice and flavor to ginger ale. In 1904, ginger ale began to be sold under the name Pale Dry Ginger Ale. Sales in the United States began in 1919. Now ginger ale has become a worldwide drink.

Ginger ale, a ginger product, has many similar effects to ginger and can be used to relieve symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, and motion sickness. However, experimental studies on such efficacy have been inconsistent. Because ginger ale is similar in color to beer, it can be used to replace beer in bartending to create a non-alcoholic version of the cocktail. <quote Wikipedia/Ginger Ale>

As of 2020, ginger ale has a history of 130 years, but it seems that it is not very popular in Taiwan, and it is not common in Taiwanese izakaya. It may only be seen in the wine list of bars. Often used in bartending as a base point for beverages.

But in fact, ginger ale can be DIY at home. Many people are sharing it on the Internet. You can check it online.

Here is an article sharing ginger ale "Square: Ginger Ale You Didn't Know"

The most classic cocktail of ginger ale is the "Moscow Mule"

Speaking of bartending, I used to be a junior in the catering department, and I had a bartending certificate, but in the pre-workout of the surgery department, I took the wrong base wine, which caused the whole glass of bartending to be completely out of tune. The exam ended in failure Orz

The Moscow Mule is vodka-based, with ginger beer (or ginger ale), and lemon to make it; although I haven't had it, I think it's delicious just from what I can imagine, hehe.

If you have tried this drink, please share your experience of drinking it :D

Finally, Xiaoben would like to ask everyone, "If you were to describe yourself with a drink, you would say that you are like..." What kind of drink is it?
