Most commercial ginger ale uses artificial ginger flavoring, zero ginger. It is possible to make your own ginger ale at home with real ginger. There are recipes and instructions online.

Modern day ginger ale (soda) has pretty much no ginger in it. I used to buy Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger brew when they had it. It has a much different flavor than Canada Dry, but you can definitely taste the ginger in it.

This is why I drink Ginger Beer.

Even the flavoring is less than 2%. I love ginger for its healing properties and add to most of my stirfrys. Its also amazing as a salad dressing, my favorite noodle restaurant has it, so good.

Ginger beer is non alcoholic since I can’t edit my response.

Super strong but yummy. Sprechers is another made with real ginger.

Sucks that most sodas are fake, but ginger is so strong it would not be that popular.

Is it true that Ginger Grant (Gilligan’s Island character) got her name from one of the writers who liked Ginger Ale?
