  • 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?

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.
