I picked this up for the bar I manage when we noticed people were ordering a lot of Moscow mules. I hated the waste that came along with not using an entire can of ginger beer and our fountain drink capacity is limited. I initially looked at bottled ginger beer syrups which I found to be prohibitively expensive. I decided to give this a shot since the reviews were good as was the price. This syrup ended up exceeding my expectations. Using the suggested portioning (1 oz per 12 oz of soda water) results in a tasty and mildly spicy ginger ale. Upping the concentration (I used 1 oz per 8 oz of soda water), gives you a spicy, yet not overpowering ginger “beer”. I personally do not like most ginger beers, so I appreciated the flexibility the syrup gives you. I have had several customers ask what is different about our mules because they taste so much better than others they have had and this syrup is the answer. When you’re using it in this way, the bottle lasts a pretty long time. I have used it in recipes I have created for my bar with equally positive results. Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase and now we make sure we always have an extra bottle or two on hand so we don’t run out.
