5 ginger beer based cocktails to try this season

Spring has sprung, and with the warmer days fast approaching, we’re rounding up our 5 favourite fiery ginger beer based cocktails…yum!

Dark and Stormy

This popular drink requires just a few simple ingredients. It’s been told that this drink has a few similarities to the Moscow Mule as they’re both ginger beer based, however, the element that sets them apart, is the choice of alcohol used. The Moscow Mule uses vodka, while the Dark & Stormy uses dark rum. Either way, this classic cocktail is a must have this season.
