. . . and alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages other than beer and spirits. Post discussion on recipes, methods, equipment and the like about these drinks here.
I made up a 2% ginger beer for an Oktoberfest, so that anyone driving could have a 'light' option. I used a reasonable proportion of ME in the brew. One strange thing about it is the dense, fine, long-lasting head that this GB seems to have...
The major problem though, is that you can drink and drink and drink the stuff, and not even vaguely enjoy the alcoholic effects. This is fine in some cases, but when you have run out of beer in all of your other kegs (poor planning) and want a good drink after a hard day, this just doesn't come close!
Dark and stormies seem the only solution. Anyone got any other good GB/spirit mixes that work?

cheap vodka can improve the strength of just about anything without affecting the flavour much at all - so if you don't want a real strong rum flavour, use vodka in place of some or all of it.
Not really looking for a way to just boost the alcohol, I also want something that tastes good too. And I just can't bring myself to drink cheap vodka. I have two principles when it comes to vodka- never mix, and never drink bad vodka.
Gin might work- hadn't thought of that. Inner Circle Grey? Don't know it. Will check out DMurphys.
