Ginger Ale

Method

Ginger Ale

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Choose a highball or Collins glass. Fill the glass with 1 cup of fresh ice to chill the glass and keep the drink cold.

  2. 2

    Pour 1 cup (one bottle or can) of Boylan Ginger Ale over the ice slowly to preserve carbonation.

  3. 3

    Add 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Stir gently once with a bar spoon to combine — avoid vigorous stirring to keep fizz.

  4. 4

    Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and serve immediately.

Ginger Beer

  1. 5

    Prepare glass

    Select a Collins or mule mug. Add 1 cup of fresh ice to the vessel.

  2. 6

    Slowly pour 1 cup (one bottle or can) of Boylan Ginger Beer over the ice to maintain effervescence.

  3. 7

    Squeeze in 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and, if using, add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters for aromatic depth. Stir gently once to integrate.

  4. 8

    Twist a lemon peel over the top to express oils, drop it in or hang on the rim as garnish. Serve right away.

Black Cherry

  1. 9

    Prepare glass

    Pick a rocks or highball glass and fill with 1 cup of fresh ice.

  2. 10

    Pour 1 cup (one bottle or can) of Boylan Black Cherry soda over the ice slowly to keep carbonation intact.

  3. 11

    Add 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice and stir gently once to marry the flavors without flattening the soda.

  4. 12

    Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a fresh cherry on a pick and serve immediately.
