Unless of course you have a copy of the recipe and can make the real thing.
And there's even some history about ginger ale you can learn as you wait for your first bottle to ferment.
Ginger ale has been around for a long time. And it did not start with Canada Dry even though that is what most of us think about when someone asks for a ginger ale.
It really began around 1851 when the first ginger ales were created in Ireland. It was known as Ginger Beer since the process for making it was the same. The drink was slightly alcoholic and was dark, sweet ale.
John McLaughlin invented the modern version of ginger ale in 1907. John McLaughlin was Canadian who studied Pharmacy at the University of Toronto in 1897. He started the soda pop business by opening a carbonated water plant in Toronto in 1890 in Toronto.
The pharmacy in those days sold all kinds of medicines and cures, and often had a soda fountain. He sold his carbonated water product to local pharmacies that used it to mix with fruit juices to create sodas for their soda fountains.
John McLaughlin began making his own soda drink recipes and created McLaughlin Belfast Style Ginger Ale in 1891. McLaughlin also developed a method of mass bottling his ginger ale leading to successful sales in Canada and the United States. It was called McLaughlin Belfast Style Ginger Ale.
By 1907, he had refined his recipe by lightening the dark color and improving the sharp almost bitter taste of his first Ginger Ale. The result was Canada Dry Pale Dry Ginger Ale which John McLaughlin patented.
Those early ginger beers (or ales) were much healthier and tastier than the current version. They are also simple to make and a great project to do with kids. Have fun and enjoy your own version of ginger ale.
Remember, all of your efforts are for several good reasons:
You will save money
You and your kids will have fun
The soda they drink will be healthier
Their friends will be impressed
Their friend’s moms will be begging for the recipe.
