Mishry Rating
SUPERB!
Summary
A rich ginger taste paired with balanced sweetness and citrus flavors, Team Mishry thinks Jade Forest Ginger Ale would make a great low-calorie mixer!
Allegedly invented in 1851 in Ireland, ginger ales are usually strong and have a robust flavor. Ginger ale can get a bit too strong and the ginger flavor might be overpowering for some. Not many people like the ginger flavor, but those who do love it, drink it as it is or use it as a mixer in alcoholic beverages. We tried and tasted Jade Forest’s Ginger Ale. Here is what we thought about it.
Did you know that modern day ginger ale was invented by John McLaughlin in 1907 in Canada? It eventually became a very popular beverage known as Canada Dry.

Ginger ale, as the name suggests, must primarily lend a prominent gingery flavor, whether you consume it as-is or like a mixer. Before we dive into discussing the flavor, the following are some observations about aroma, fizz, and other non-tasting parameters of our review.
This has a robust ginger aroma. We liked that the intense fizz did not reduce till the very last sip. The bold fizz combined with the flavor of ginger gives this beverage a sharp zing!
The flavor of ginger and the balanced sweetness makes for a tasty drink that you wouldn’t mind having after work or with your lunch. That being said, the citrusy ginger flavor was a bit lesser than we would have liked. This is definitely more fizzy than gingery.
