New Q Drinks Ginger Beer
Q Drinks, the brand behind the dangerously good Tonic Water is officially launching the 8th flavor in their collection. We spend a lot of time fussing over the ingredients used in our cocktails but thats usually aimed at the colorful sugary stuff. Tonic water isn’t any different and it pays to use a good brand. Q Ginger Beer is made with all-natural ingredients: real ginger, organic agave, a touch of coriander, cardamom and lime. Fans of the Moscow Mule or Dark N Stormy might want to give this one a try. Check our the press release below:
The carbonated crusaders behind Q Tonic, Q Ginger and Q Club announce the nationwide release of its spectacular ginger beer: Q Ginger Beer.
Crafted to fill a void in the rapidly growing premium craft mixer market, Q Ginger Beer is the perfect match for top shelf spirits. Q Ginger Beer is spicier, more carbonated and less sweet than other ginger beers. It is made with all-natural ingredients, including tons of real ginger, a dash of organic agave, coriander, cardamom and lime.
Jordan Silbert, founder of Q Drinks, explains “I made Q Ginger Beer exactly how I wanted it: with a big ginger punch that’s almost obscenely spicy, highly carbonated, and clean and crisp rather than sickly sweet. It’s a mixer and only a mixer – exactly what your rum, vodka, and whiskey are looking for.”
Silbert created Q Drinks to make cocktails taste better with superior cocktail sodas, which often make up 2/3 of the drink. To highlight the superiority of its new flavor, Q Ginger Beer, Q Drinks developed several cocktails, including a spin on the classic Moscow Mule with a tribute to the brand’s Brooklyn roots, the Brighton Beach Mule.

About Q Drinks
Q Drinks makes the world’s best cocktail sodas – clean, crisp, completely unique beverages that enhance the finest spirits. Jordan Silbert founded Q Drinks one warm summer night in Brooklyn after drinking good gin with great friends and lousy tonic water. He took to his own kitchen to make something much better – cocktail sodas that he would be excited to mix in his drinks and proud to serve his friends. Today Q Drinks makes spectacular sodas in 8 different flavors. Q Drinks crafts its sodas with a) much better ingredients, b) far less sugar/calories, and c) the belief that cocktail sodas can be as great as the best craft beers.
