The Traveling Ginger Fizz
For hundreds of years, people around the world used ginger to soothe upset stomachs — from ancient China and India to the Caribbean and Europe. But when soda makers in the 1800s mixed ginger with fizzy water and a little sweetness, the world’s first ginger ale was born! Today, homemade ginger ale is a simple, bubbly treat you can make fresh in your own kitchen — no factory required.
