What each ingredient does
- Ale
- Provides the beer base and its bitter, malty flavour.
- Ginger ale
- Adds sweetness and ginger aroma, and lightens the drink's body.
The step that matters
Serve immediately and chilled. Carbonation escapes as the drink sits, so it goes flat quickly. Keeping both bottles very cold slows that loss and keeps the flavour crisp.
