FAQ's
What is Angostura Bitters, and why is it used in the Angostura Ginger Beer?
Angostura Bitters is a concentrated bitters made of water, alcohol, gentian root, and various herbs and spices. It's originally from Trinidad and Tobago and is commonly used as a flavoring for cocktails and food dishes. In the Angostura Ginger Beer, it adds a complex flavor profile with a blend of botanical, herbal, and spicy notes, complementing the sweetness and sharpness of the ginger ale.
Why is the Angostura Ginger Beer stirred and not shaken?
The Angostura Ginger Beer is stirred instead of shaken to gently mix the ingredients without creating too much agitation. Stirring helps to preserve the carbonation of the ginger ale, ensuring the drink remains fizzy and refreshing. Shaking, on the other hand, could lead to a flat cocktail as it would release much of the carbonation.
Is the Angostura Ginger Beer completely non-alcoholic?
Yes, the Angostura Ginger Beer is considered non-alcoholic with a 0% alcohol content in the recipe provided. While Angostura Bitters does contain alcohol, the amount used is very small (7.5ml), and such trace amounts are generally regarded as negligible, making the drink classified as non-alcoholic.
What is the best way to serve Angostura Ginger Beer to preserve its flavor and carbonation?
The best way to serve Angostura Ginger Beer is in a lowball glass filled with ice. Pour the ginger ale over the ice and then add the Angostura Bitters. Stir gently to mix without aggressive agitation. Serving it cold maximizes the refreshing qualities of the drink and preserves its fizzy texture, enhancing the overall experience.
How can I customize Angostura Ginger Beer to make it more interesting?
To customize Angostura Ginger Beer, consider adding fresh ingredients such as a squeeze of lime juice or garnishing with a slice of lime or lemon to add a citrusy punch. For a spicier version, a small piece of fresh ginger or a dash of cayenne pepper can enhance its warmth. Mint leaves can also add a fresh, aromatic touch. These additions transform the drink, catering to personal taste preferences.
