Stoney 500ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)You take a sip expecting a soft drink and your throat goes "oh, hello." That's Stoney Tangawizi. A golden, no-nonsense ginger soda with a kick that actually catches the back of your throat, the kind of fizz that wakes you up after a plate of nyama choma. Drink it stone cold on its own, or let it carry your rum on a late one. Either way it doesn't whisper.
Crack it open and you get that sharp, peppery ginger hit straight away, more bonfire than biscuit. It's properly sweet underneath, which is the whole trick: the sugar pulls you in and then the ginger bites. The East African recipe leans harder on the heat than the southern versions, so this one's got real warmth that lingers, plus tight, prickly bubbles that scrub your palate clean. Bold, punchy, never boring.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Stoney is a Coca-Cola brand that first landed in South Africa back in 1971, inspired by traditional homemade ginger brews. It spread across the continent and picked up its Swahili name along the way: "tangawizi" simply means ginger. Here's the fun bit. The recipe isn't the same everywhere. The East African version, the one Kenya grew up on, is dialled up hotter and gingerier than the sweeter southern bottles. So the Stoney you know is basically the spicy edition.
Good to know

- What does Stoney Tangawizi 500ml taste like?
Sweet up front, then a big, peppery ginger kick that catches the back of your throat. It's fizzy, golden and bold, one of the punchier ginger sodas out there.
- What is the ABV of Stoney Tangawizi?
Zero. "Ginger beer" is just the style name. Stoney is a non-alcoholic soda, so it's all flavour and no buzz.

It's a Coca-Cola Company brand that started in South Africa in 1971 and spread across Africa. "Tangawizi" is Swahili for ginger, and the East African recipe is the spicier one.
- Is it the same as ginger ale?
No. Ginger ale is mild and light. Stoney is a ginger beer style, far more intense and spicy, so it stands up as both a drink and a serious cocktail mixer.
