Ginger Beer

excpa — Sun, 02 Apr 2017 12:35:35 GMT

I saw this great recipe for something that used ginger beer as an ingredient. Finally found ginger beer...now I cannot find the recipe. I can't even remember what type of food it was. Has anyone else done this? Look for a missing ingredient, found it and forgot what the ingredient was for? Any recipes using ginger beer?

(I had the same problem several years ago with Borax. Wound up with a heavy box of Borax and no idea why I wanted it.)

I believe ginger beer is soda like root beer. My Dad loved it.

Did you want to make a Moscow Mule cocktail?

Borax and sugar equal parts will kill ants.

Once I found Borax, I can not be without it!!! We have hard water so a little Borax added to the laundry detergent makes a world of difference.

But, yes we all go on the "hunt" for something then finally find and ...............

The only recipe I know of with ginger beer is a Moscow Mule.

I have a bottle of capers and I have no idea why I bought it. Not something I've ever used.

Edited because I noticed I wrote ginger beet. I wouldn't drink that :-)

Oh! I'd throw them in my primavera sauce!

I've heard of a black cow. It's a drink made with root beer, and vanilla ice cream

ncascade: Yes. Ginger beer is a soda product made with real ginger. It is considerably stronger than ginger ale. I LOVE ginger beer. I used to drink Schwepp's Ginger Beer frequently; was avaialble in grocery stores. Haven't been able to get it in quite a while, but I'll keep looking for it or another brand.

I was at a party once where Chef Rick Bayless made us a cocktail called an El Diablo. It had ginger beer in it.
