New kind of ginger ale makes an awesome mix with Kraken rum. Will have to see how good Moscow mule it makes at some point

It makes me uncomfortable how much the bottle stands over the edge.

Never had that brand of ginger ale, though. (I think)

the normal one is more green color, but is one the main ones in the us atleast
is the one from dr pepper/7up whatever

We have Dr Pepper (since a few years now but mostly just in .5L bottles) and 7up (for as long as I can remember), but I’ve only ever seen ginger ale from Schweppes here.
The closest thing you can get to ginger ale here (aside from Schweppes) is Almdudler, which is apparently herb-flavored. For me it’s always been just “Almdudler”, the way cola is cola.

The normal kind of canada dry is mild, and generally is the go to when sick (car sick, motion sick etc) because it’s got ginger and sugar. Besides that it’s a good substitute for tonic in mixed drinks.
This stronger version is much more like a ginger beer soda, or Asian ginger drinks as the ginger is very pronounced. Whereas the normal one just barely has ginger, but enough to make it somewhat different than 7up, if very similar.

A carbonated drink for when you’re feeling sick? Not sure if I’d want that when I’m already feeling like throwing up.

Generally is less for when actually sick (with the flu or whatever, but sometimes I use it when recovering for hydration when I get bored of water)
But the big thing about ginger ale is a) that it’s the only thing easy to get with ginger in it and b) the ginger helps to calm queasy stomachs from things like car sickness, motion sickness, seasickness etc. Something to do with the qualities of ginger helps sooth it.

That said, ginger candy or something with an actually substantial amount of ginger is way better at it than the relatively minute amount in most ginger ales but even the small amount can help.
Can
But also carbonated drinks here are nothing like they are there lol, with the only exception being monster which is mostly the same other than flavors everywhere

Lots of stuff was on sale so got a few things, the Bacardi was cheap and came with some shot glasses for free. And since it’s still hot as hell here got some summer drink mixers to go with it. And bulleit 95 because it’s really good and inexpensive.
