Exactly. In SA we get a few types but the best are Schwepps or Canada Dry, if you can find it.

Those are too sweet without enough ginger. I do love Schweppes bitter lemon and gin, however.

Make your own ginger beer--water, grated ginger, sugar to taste and yeast + a cleaned out 2L soda bottle (with appropriate pressure release cap openings) + a couple days = ginger mixer with your desired level of sweetness.

I got tired (and too cheap) of buying Gosling's at the local liquor store.

All this talk of alcohol and mixers, I had to go back to the beginning and see what this thread was about, "Athletes & Soldiers relying on a pristine diet to combat the effects of oxidative stress."

Hilarious how we drifted off azimuth here!

Heck.....when I was in SA all I drank was "cane and orange" and the odd glass of red wine to go with all the meat we shot.

That cane and orange hit the spot quite nicely.

You were shooting with gentlemen Flagg. The reprobates tipple of choice is Klipdrift (Klippies) and Coke. A not very good brandy that inspires confidence even in the meekest people. Hence the Afrikaans saying, Bradewyn het nie brieke nie or Brandy has no brakes.
