Description

Stoney Ginger Beer is a boldly flavored, carbonated soft drink known for its intense, fiery ginger taste. Unlike many milder ginger ales, Stoney is characterized by its strong, sharp, and slightly spicy ginger kick, which is both refreshing and invigorating. It is marketed as a drink for those who can “handle the strong taste.” It’s enjoyed on its own as a refreshing beverage, often used as a mixer in cocktails (like a Moscow Mule or Dark ‘n’ Stormy), and is sometimes consumed to help settle an upset stomach due to its prominent ginger flavor.

Carbonated Water, Sugar, Citric Acid (E330), Ginger Extract (0.1%), Preservative (Sodium Benzoate, E211), Stabiliser (Acacia Gum, E414), Colour (Plain Caramel, E150d), Natural Flavouring.

Usage Suggestions

Nutritional Benefits
As a soft drink, Stoney Ginger Beer is primarily a source of energy (calories) from carbohydrates (sugar). It is fat-free and protein-free.

Ginger Content: The primary perceived benefit comes from the ginger extract (0.1%). Ginger is traditionally associated with aiding digestion and helping to alleviate nausea. However, the concentration in a commercial soft drink is low, and any benefits would be mild compared to consuming fresh ginger or dedicated supplements.

Hydration: Its high water content contributes to fluid intake.

Important: It is not a significant source of vitamins, minerals, or fiber. It should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet due to its high sugar content.
