Fitch & Leedes Ginger Ale 200ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)Crack the can, pour over a stack of ice, and you get this pale-gold fizz with the cleanest little kick of real ginger. Not the chest-warming burn of a ginger beer. More like a bright, aromatic snap that wakes up your drink and then steps back. Pour it solo when you want something grown-up and zero-proof, or let it do the thing it was born for and turn a cheap measure of whisky into a Whisky Ginger you'll actually savour. Tonight's the night. We'll have it at your door before the ice melts.
It smells like fresh ginger root, clean and a touch peppery, none of that cough-syrup thing. The bubbles are fine and lively, the kind that tickle rather than blast. On the sip it's gently sweet from cane sugar, then the ginger lifts through the middle with a warm, aromatic zing, and it finishes dry and tidy so your mouth feels fresh, not sticky. Think refined cousin to a fiery ginger beer: all the spice, half the heat, way more poise.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Fitch & Leedes is South Africa's go-to premium mixer crew, made by Chill Beverages out near Cape Town. The name is a nod to Ralph Fitch and William Leedes, two London merchants who set sail back in 1583 hunting exotic flavours in the East. Fitting, because this ginger ale is built on ginger oils sourced from around the world, blended with soft spring water. They're the top-selling tonic brand back home, and the ginger ale carries the same fuss-over-the-details approach.
Quick questions
- What is the price of Fitch & Leedes Ginger Ale 200ml?
Fitch & Leedes Ginger Ale 200ml is KSh 145 at Oaks & Corks. Order online for delivery in 30 minutes for most areas in Nairobi, or next day countrywide.
- What does Fitch & Leedes Ginger Ale 200ml taste like?
Pale gold and lively, with a clean, aromatic ginger flavour and a balanced, gentle sweetness. It's far more refined and far less fiery than a ginger beer, finishing crisp and dry rather than sticky.
- What is the ABV of Fitch & Leedes Ginger Ale?
Zero. It's a non-alcoholic mixer, no alcohol at all. The buzz comes from whatever you pour it with.
- How do I serve it?
Ice cold over a full glass of ice in a highball. Pour down the side to keep the bubbles. Great solo with a squeeze of lemon, or topping a whisky, dark rum or brandy.
- What spirit does it go best with?
It's a natural for a Whisky Ginger, and it loves brandy and dark rum too. The clean ginger lifts the spirit instead of fighting it.
- Is it the same as ginger beer?
No. Ginger ale is lighter, fizzier and more aromatic, where ginger beer is heavier, cloudier and a lot more fiery. This one sits firmly on the crisp, refined ginger-ale side.
- Where is it from?
South Africa. Fitch & Leedes is made by Chill Beverages near Cape Town, blending ginger oils from around the world with soft spring water. This is the 200ml can.
