Ginger content is often listed on labels in a general ''natural aroma'' or ''natural flavoring'' statement, to preserve secrecy of the complex proprietary mix of spices, fruit and other flavors used. Ginger ales come in two varieties. Golden ginger ale, dark colored and strong flavored, is the older style. Dry ginger ale was developed during Prohibition when ginger ale was used as a mixer for alcoholic beverages and the strong flavor of golden ginger ale was undesirable. Dry ginger ale quickly surpassed golden ginger ale in popularity, and today golden ginger ale is an uncommon and usually regional drink. Vernor's and Blenheim are examples of golden ginger ale, while Canada Dry and Schweppes are major brands of dry ginger ale. Dry ginger ale is also sold with a Mint flavoring added. Popular brands of mint ginger ale include Cott and Tom Tucker Southern Style. Some mint ginger ale brands have an artificial green Color added, while others are clear in color. Because of its ginger content, ginger ale is used to prevent or alleviate Motion Sickness . Ginger Beer , a similar drink, is typically flavored much more strongly and less sweetly. Vernor's is a strongly flavored ginger ale aged for four years in oak barrels before bottling. It was the first U.S. soft drink, originating in 1866 , although it was modeled on imported Irish ginger beers. EXTERNAL LINKS |
