ginger beer

Ginger beer is generic for carbonated, sweetened soda, generally a spicier more heavily ginger-flavored version of ginger ale; usually non-alcoholic, though some historical versions were, in fact, flavored, fermented, alcoholic beer. Note that, with careful discretion, it can be possible to substitute ginger ale for ginger beer in mixed drinks, particularly if you have access to an uncommonly spicy ginger ale.
