  • We utilized unflavored and plain vodka. Pick a high-quality brand for optimal flavor.

Can we utilize ginger ale as a replacement for low-calorie ginger beer?

  • Yes, you can use ginger ale but the flavor will be milder. If using ginger ale, you can crush the fresh ginger for a more intense ginger aroma. Select sugar-free or diet ginger ale.

Is it essential to utilize fresh lime juice?

  • The most flavorful and intense taste comes from freshly squeezed lime juice. Readymade juice can be used in urgent situations but the taste will not be fresh.
