What Is Alcoholic Ginger Beer?
Alcoholic ginger beer is a fermented drink made with ginger, sugar, water, and yeast. It has a stronger, spicier, and more complex flavour than ginger ale, which is a non-alcoholic soda. With an alcohol content typically between 4-5%, alcoholic ginger beer provides a refreshing yet robust option for those who enjoy drinks with a bit of bite.
The spicy ginger flavour is balanced with sweetness, carbonation, and subtle citrus notes, making it a versatile beverage to enjoy on its own or in cocktails.
How Alcoholic Ginger Beer Is Made: A Step-by-Step Guide
Alcoholic ginger beer is made through fermentation, creating its unique flavour profile:
- Ginger Preparation: Fresh ginger root is grated or chopped to extract its strong, spicy flavours.
- Fermentation: Ginger, sugar, water, and yeast are combined to start fermentation, where sugar is converted into alcohol.
- Secondary Fermentation: After the initial fermentation, the ginger beer undergoes secondary fermentation to further develop its flavour and carbonation.
- Bottling: The ginger beer is filtered, carbonated, and bottled, ready for consumption.
