Tuesday, May 30, 2023: Tummy Tamer

This is quite possibly the perfect non-alcoholic beverage for a Tuesday that feels like a Monday.

I was introduced to this drink by a Bucks County bartender who served ginger ale and bitters to a friend who was complaining of nausea.  I have made a few refinements that turn this easy-to-prepare mocktail into an event in a glass.

I recommend using the best quality ginger beer you can find or if you prefer something with less bite look for a ginger ale made with real ginger.  I chose Black Walnut Bitters for their earthy taste which sets-off the sharpness of the ginger beer.

Any thin slice of citrus will work, this one has a lemon, but a thin orange wheel is very attractive as well.

 

Tummy Tamer

1 7.5 oz can of Ginger Beer

5-6 Dashes of Black Walnut Bitters

Slice of citrus

Fill a rocks glass ¾ full with cubed ice (the larger the better).  Pour in Ginger beer and dash the bitters over the top.  Top with a slice of citrus.
