The Ginger Ale Substitute You Can Easily Make In A Pinch

There are many ginger ale brands that populate store shelves around the country, but you can also make yourself some delicious ginger ale at home by actually using real gingers.

Simply combine soda water with a fast and simple homemade ginger syrup. To make the syrup, heat water and sugar, then steep some ginger pieces in it for about 15 minutes.

Once it cools, strain the bits of ginger out and you'll have a syrup that you can use to make your very own ginger ale. You can even add some lemon juice for extra zing.
