Ginger beer dates back to the 1700s, when it was made as a fermented alcoholic beverage using ginger, sugar, and water. Now versions of the drink are more often not alcoholic but are great mixers for drinks made with vodka, rum, whiskey, bourbon, and more. The beverage is made with the spice of ginger and hints of citrus and can be enjoyed alone on ice or as a mixer. Here are some of the best options for any way you choose to drink it.
