The Soda Battel Royal!

Have you ever tried ginger beer? It's great for darker whiskey's and rums. Some people like vodka with it... but I'm not a vodka person. Also, ginger beer on its own is pretty good.

I like ginger beer, but I don't buy it very often.  I'd never thought of mixing it with whiskey or rum.  Any specific whiskey?  Bourbon, rye, scotch, Canadian, Irish?

I also have a small supply of Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer on hand.  I like Reed's ginger beer, but haven't tried many brands.

I'm not really a whiskey person. The occasional scotch and that's it. So I can't recommend anything there.

But ginger beer goes great in Kraken or Captain Morgan. Other than that, Moscow Mule is the only ginger beer beverage I have tried. I used to work in a liquor store with a ginger beer fanatic. She had all kinds of drink recipes. But I forget most of them now. Google might be a good resource to find out about bourbons and such that might go well.
