SilhouetteSeal+FollowFake Ginger Ale When You're Out of the Real StuffFill a glass with ice. This is key for keeping everything cold and refreshing. Add a couple dashes of bitters—Angostura works, but any bitters will do. Skip this if you’re making it for kids or non-drinkers since bitters have alcohol. Splash in some homemade sour mix. Just combine two parts simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated and cooled) with three parts lemon or lime juice. Trust me, homemade tastes way better than store-bought. Pour in lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7-Up) until the glass is about ¾ full. Top it off with a splash of cola for that golden ginger ale color. You can add more if you like the taste. This isn’t a perfect ginger ale, but it’ll do in a pinch for mixing with whiskey or cocktails. Always let people know it’s a substitute! #bartenderhacks #gingeralesubstitute #mixologytips #Food #Cooking30Share
RogueRiddle+FollowEver Tried Tea as a Cocktail Ingredient??Wildly Underrated…Tea isn’t just for sipping solo or with cookies—mixologists have been using it as a cocktail base for ages. Black tea brings depth to whiskey sours, while green tea pairs surprisingly well with gin. The tannins in tea can balance out sweetness, and herbal teas add unique flavors without extra sugar. Just remember, if you’re brewing tea for cocktails, let it cool first to avoid watering down your drink with melting ice! #FoodKnowledge #TeaCocktails #MixologyTips #Food21Share
