Love ginger beer but not the harsh burn? This simple two-ingredient recipe is smooth, refreshing and incredibly easy to make at home.
I’ve always loved ginger drinks, especially as a mixer, but sometimes they can be a little overpowering. You know the ones…they leave that fiery burn at the back of your throat and completely take over the drink.
That’s one of the reasons I’ve always enjoyed Dorset Ginger’s Strong Ginger. Yes, it’s full of flavour and has a lovely warming kick, but it’s much smoother than many ginger drinks I’ve tried.
When I first met Nick from Dorset Ginger, he shared this simple recipe with me, and it’s been one of my go-to mixers ever since. I’ve even managed to convert a couple of friends who swore they didn’t like ginger beer!
