So I bought some copper moscow mule cups because they look neat and I was wanting to make the drink.  Do they sell ginger beer at a typical liquor store?  I never knew such a thing existed until a couple days go.

they sell it in the mixer section.

You can also find it at a regular grocery store.

However, I typically use nonalcoholic Ginger Beer. I think that is what they are using in your moscow mule.

A good liquor store should have it with the mixers. A decent grocery store should have it too.

You live in FL and have just found Ginger Beer?







I like D&G Jamaican style. Search around for it.

I usually just drink whiskey or beer but when I found out that these cups are for a special drink I wanted to give it a try.  I am a sucker for anything made out of metal.

Cock and Bull is what you seek.

Awesome.  I guess I've never seen it because I never really looked for it before.

Is ginger beer sweet?

Walmart sells Goslings and a few other brands.

Not really! The few I have found have some sweetness to them but are very much Ginger in flavor. I like it, my wife and many folks don't care for it.

It is usually sweet with varying sharpness levels.  I like it as sharp and gingery as possible.

Good.  I don't care for sweet, sugary drinks unless it is a Long Island Iced Tea.

Crabbie's if you're looking for an alcoholic ginger beer. Goslings if not.

Goslings+Jim Beam+lime wedge   also worth a try.

And most liquor stores here have it in the mixer isle.

I drink these things frequently.

Pro tip and possible sacrilege, but I use the concentrated lime juice instead of fresh. I find the oil from the rind makes the drink bitter.

But ymmv

Those elusive redheaded beers.  Yeah they are mostly non alcoholic and found at most supermarkets.

The English make a good ginger beer. Crabbies I believe.

Sub black rum for the vodka and you've got a Dark and Stormy, which is also fantastic.

Goslings isn't real ginger beer.  Those dickheads use high fructose corn syrup and other bullshit in it.

Edit: neither is the cock and balls brand.  Ginger beer is not supposed to be caramel colored.

World Market carries real ginger beer.

OP, Kroger sells Cock & Bull.

Alright so I got some Tito's vodka and some Bundaberg Ginger beer.  Moscow Mules are decent but I don't like how much sugar the ginger beer has.

Barritt's is good. . . + dark rum + lime = "Dark & Stormy". . awesome summer drink. . 

A big soda & beer place should have it. . . also, if you have a Trader Joe's, they'll have it. .

If you guys want a good micro brew Ginger beer, Crabbies is THE shit

Pretty pricey and it'll likely be a specialty import, but it's good stuff.

is good.  



Is great.  That'll tickle your guts.

ETA- Reed's is also sweet, but the ginger is a lot stronger.  There's one that was so dry I didn't like it, you might, and I've put it out of my mind now.

Cock and bull ginger beer is the best by far. Spicy, not sweet.

Best ginger beers are cock and bull, bundaberg, and Blenheims.

Fever Tree or Regatta for ginger beer, and fuck Moscow Mules, Horse's Neck is better.
