What is Ginger Ale?

Ginger ale is a non alcoholic carbonated soft drink. It is commonly made from water, sugars and ginger flavoring. The carbonation makes the beverage fizzy and refreshing. The drink is sweet and a hint spicy, without heat. Some varieties of ginger ale are stronger than others and use only natural ingredients. However, the popular brands such as Canada Dry, is high in sugar and corn syrup. All ginger ale is best served cold.

What does Ginger Ale Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Spicy

Spicy is a flavor that brings heat and fire to food by creating a burning sensation in the mouth or sinuses. Spicy flavors come from hot peppers, horseradish, and wasabi. Spicy adds a kick and sometimes complexity to a dish and releases endorphins, creating a mildly addictive quality.
