Frostie Ginger Beer
The Frostie Company (Orca Beverage Soda Works) · Clear cane-sugar ginger beer (sweet style)
Mukilteo, Washington, USA
A nostalgic clear ginger beer tracing its recipe to 1939, Frostie leans unapologetically sweet — cane sugar carries the glass, and it ranks among the sugariest in the category. A moderate, lingering ginger warmth and a citric tang push back just enough to keep it from going flat-sweet, while lighter carbonation and a touch of quillaia lend a faintly piney, soda-fountain lift. The ginger reads more flavoring than fresh root, so this is a crowd-pleasing sipper and mixer rather than a fiery purist's brew.
