What can you mix with ginger beer?

Ginger beer pairs beautifully with citrus juices, such as lemon, lime, and orange, as well as fruit juices like cranberry and apple. Fresh herbs like mint and basil also complement its spicy flavor perfectly. For non-alcoholic options, try mixing it with sparkling water and fresh fruit!

Is ginger beer a healthy drink?

Ginger beer can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. It often contains real ginger, which has anti-inflammatory properties, though most commercial varieties are high in sugar. This homemade mocktail version allows you to control the sweetness with natural honey.

What mixes well with ginger beer, non-alcoholic?

Beyond this honey-lemon combination, ginger beer mixes wonderfully with pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and fresh lime. Try it with muddled berries, cucumber slices, or even a splash of coconut water for tropical vibes. The spicy-sweet profile complements both tart and sweet flavors beautifully.

What is the most famous mocktail?

The Virgin Mojito and Shirley Temple are probably the most universally recognized mocktails, but ginger beer-based drinks, such as the Moscow Mule (without vodka), are gaining popularity rapidly. This honey-lemon version adds a sophisticated twist to the classic ginger beer mocktail.
