Easy to make homemade Ginger Ale (Soft Ginger Beer) recipe with a video. Ginger ale is a non-alcoholic and refreshing drink made of fresh ginger and carbonated water. It’s one of the easiest sodas you can make at home with little effort.
Most commercially available ginger ales are loaded with refined sugars, preservatives, and colorants. And the sad part is most of the commercially available ginger ales don’t contain even real ginger extract but ginger flavoring instead.
When you are making ginger ale yourself at home, you can control how much syrup you want in it—and thus, how sweet it is. And of course, you make it with real fresh ginger extract. So it’s good for your health. Therefore, it’s definitely worth making ginger ale at home.
The great part about this recipe is you can switch up the ratios depending on what you’re in the mood for. The syrup will keep for a week in the fridge. You can just add soda and enjoy your homemade ginger ale any time you want.
This recipe also is great as you can make many other beverages, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic with this ginger syrup.

How to Make Ginger Ale
Yes, as the name implies, the main ingredient is ginger. When making homemade ginger ale, we use real fresh ginger. You will also need some sugar, honey, fresh lemon or lime juice, club soda, or sparkling water.
First, you make ginger syrup using fresh ginger, sugar, honey & lemon juice. Once you have the syrup, all you have to do is add some cold club soda and ice cubes and then your ginger ale is ready. You can mix ¼ of syrup and ¾ cup of club soda OR just feel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste.
