I decided to try it with the ginger ale and it was delicious. Topped with a sprig of mint, this Mango Sorbet and Ginger Brew Float made a lovely after dinner treat. Not too heavy and perfectly refreshing.
Although this float made a tasty little dessert, I had to try the float with ginger beer. Why you ask? Because ginger ale or ginger brew is not the same as ginger beer. Ginger beer goes through a brewing and fermenting process and isn’t quite as sweet as ginger ale. Ginger beer also tastes more like real ginger. Some ginger beer can even be a bit spicy – and it’s also less carbonated. Ginger ale is much sweeter and more like a soda than a beer.
