I don't know whether you've noticed: I am a huge ginger fan! Many people probably associate ginger with the Indian cuisine, but ginger can do much more than simply spice up some curries. Think soups, cookies, cakes ... there are so many possibilities! And who would have thought that ginger is great in lemonade as well?!
The Ginger People know what I am talking about and they've been doing a wonderful job producing a wide range of high-quality ginger products - for over 30 years! One year ago, I've already written a blogpost about the company and their products, so head over there if you are interested.
One Ginger People-product I hadn't tried until recently, is their award-winning ginger beer "Bottoms Up". The reason it didn't really appeal to me is the fact that I don't drink beer (jep, I live in Bavaria but don't drink beer!). Maybe I should have checked out the ingredient list earlier, 'cause ginger beer is actually alcohol-free! Ginger beer is much like ginger ale, but I am pretty sure the Ginger People "Bottoms Up" ginger beer has a much stronger ginger flavor. That's propably because they use unfiltered, fresh ginger juice to make this drink. I love it!
Now let's come to today's recipe. This ginger-pineapple lemonade is just perfect right at the end of a warm summer or rather the beginning of fall. This lemonade is so refreshing, fruity, slightly fizzy and has a nice gingery kick. Plus, it's super easy to make. Stir together all the ingredients, serve with ice cubes and - if you're feeling fancy - a tiny umbrella.
