If you're looking for a good N/A version try ginger beer. I'm not sure if its available outside Florida, but its worth a look. Its popular in the Islands and might be in the international foods section of a decent supermarket or specialty shop. Anyway, its about ten times more gingery than ginger ale. Its actually spicy to the point of being hot. It tastes darn good over ice and makes a really interesting mixer. As I said, its almost pepper hot with the amount of ginger in it, and is a nice change from soda. Check it out if you get a chance.
