Does ginger ale exist here?

[flyinroom]

After not finding it anywhere when we were down in the winter, I am sending several cases of the diet ginger ale down in our own shipment. Makes great spritzers to! That is the only soft drink I do drink. Schwepps used to make it too.

That sounds like it could potentially be one explosive shipment.....pop..pop...kaboom.

A and W is the only Root Beer. anything else is an imitation.

Nonsense! Dad's Root Beer is Da Bomb!



I hear they've got a ginger beer tradition going on in Samana. Has anyone gotten some of that? I love ginger beer. After a ginger beer, ginger ale tastes like sweetened dirty water. It's got a bite.

Schweppes is the only ginger ale. Canada dry is a pale imitation.

It's an opinion. I happen to like both, especial with rye.

Might as well ship down a pallet of Clamato too and double your money selling it to bars that cater to Canadians.. I think there are 60 cases to a pallet. What's a case of Clamato go for in the DR now? It's $40.66 a case or $1.70 a 12oz can in the US on Amazon and you can prob get a better price in a wholesale store.

"Ginger Ale"?????????????????
You are ALL wrong!!
The Best "Eva", was "Vernor's", out of Detroit, I think????
Don't know if it's still around.
Try some "Candied Ginger" for "Motion Sickness", or just a stomach ache.

and now that we have broached root beer.. does it not come from a bark of something.. like sasparilla?

and does licorice come from something called samana? seems to be native here?

sorry to be practical.. but I am SOOOO far away from a root beer float..
