5Bottled with 7/8 cup of corn sugar.
6(this was too much!).
7It was also overcarbonated, which deracted from the experience a bit.
8I wish i could tell you how much ginger i used, but i remember i wished it was more.
9Go for it! i"ve found nothing better to drink with chinese food." "my most memorable experience with ginger beer was at a caribbean restaurant in chicago.
10They offered a home-made ginger drink which i went for immediately.
11It was outstanding.
12It appeared to be a mixture of ginger, slightly alcoholic, slightly fizzy and totally delicious.
13They served it ice cold, which was somewhat startling given the warm afterburn it left in the back of my throat.
