Making a ginger ale float with some vanilla ice cream rules as well.

Apparently, mixing vanilla ice cream with Vernors is called a Boston cooler and has been a regional thing in the northeastern US for well over a century. But yeah, I did this with Canada Dry long before the internet existed and I knew what a Boston cooler even was. Really drat good.

i get these when i can find them:



drink it ice cold and it makes you feel warm on the inside as it goes down

I know I’ve seen Reed’s at Kroger in the past, but I haven’t checked in some time. World Market always stocks it, though.

I don't remember if I like ginger ale, last time I had it was on a plane when I was maybe 12. I had some crystallized ginger and ginger chocolate recently and it was okay.

Followup post.
We were in the store and saw some ginger ale bottles (boylan bottling co. :shrug:) and said something like, "Wasn't there a ginger ale thread?" Long story short picked up some grape soda and ginger ale, two things I thought were icky as a kid.

Results are that both are amazing. I don't know what the gently caress I was thinking as a kid hating on ginger ale??? It's like sprite but gingery instead. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but it's far and away from my least favorite sodas (looking at you creme soda)

Canada dry made some white tea with raspberry ginger ale several years ago.

It was hard as gently caress to find and whenever I did I treated that poo poo like the gold that it was.

Haven't seen it in years.

Canada Dry was pretty much one of my favorites growing up.

My grocery store (Wegmans) lists ginger ale separately from soft drinks in the overhead signage for the aisle. Is ginger ale not a soft drink?

But yes, agreed OP. Along with a shoutout to root beer (specifically barqs. A&W has too much vanilla)

I'm also on the barq train for my rootbeer of choice. Other's are too vanilla-y but that makes them superior for floats just not so much for my personal drinking.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Too sweet for me. Same reason I don't like birthday type cakes. Don't want a soda that's like drinking icing.

Come at me scrub-lord I'm ripped!
A good ginger beer like fever tree is great for a Dark and Stormy which is basically a Moscow mule but instead of using lovely vodka you use dark rum and don't pour it in some bullshit copper mug but a highball glass.

It's really loving good and if I ever went back to drinking it would be my cocktail of choice.

It's a good cocktail. I still think that ginger beer mojito has potential but I don't drink anymore
