Flavor Profile
History & Heritage
“The Ginger Beer Fizz adapts the 19th-century fizz template—spirit, citrus, sweetener, and soda—by swapping the usual club soda for fiery ginger beer. As craft ginger beers became widely available in the 2000s, bartenders embraced the substitution for a spicier, more aromatic refresher that works with or without alcohol.”
