The Best Ginger Beer Brand

Seek out a high-quality ginger beer for this recipe. Many ginger beers (not to be confused with ginger ales!) contain a lot of added sugar and little to no real ginger. This sort of defeats the point, right? Ginger beer should have a natural, fresh, and spicy ginger kick!

Fever Tree is my favorite brand of ginger beer. It is low in sugar and packs a fresh, spicy ginger punch.

SHOPPING TIP: Fever Tree is reasonably priced and comes in small and large bottles. It is available at most grocery and beverage stores, and can also be ordered from Amazon. For this recipe, you’ll need 32 ounces total, or two 16.9 ounce bottles. If you can’t find this brand, here’s a comprehensive list of the best ginger beers.

How to Make Homemade Pineapple Juice: 

  • 1 medium pineapple, peeled and cored, will yield approximately 1½ cups to 2 cups (12 to 16 ounces) pineapple juice.
  • Place chopped pineapple in a large food processor. Puree until completely smooth. Strain through a large fine-meshed sieve, using a spatula to press down the pulp to release the juice, into a large measuring cup or bowl. Fresh pineapple juice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
