Had this tonight, using 2 rums, Havana club 7 year aged and a botanical infused golden rum, Anno lady Franklin, my ginger beer of choice is Palmers, a Dorset based brewery's ginger beer (I highly reccomend).
I did add a dash of paychauds bitters as well as the angostura, because I had a hankering for their flavour, but absolutely cracking!

Delicious. A definite improvement over the original highball, so worth the extra effort. I made mine with Fentimans Ginger Beer and the traditional Goslings Black Seal.

I chased it later with a Goslings Rum Old Fashioned (which I quite enjoyed) since dark rum has been a bit of a mystery ingredient until now - just go easy on the sugar.

90 ml ginger beer is for my taste too much , after reducing to 70 ml it is far better.

Easily my favorite! I've also mixed this with Canada Dry, lacking ginger beer. Acceptable but much sweeter. Maybe without the syrup...

If you have some ginger handy, you can crush some with lemon juice, add a bit of sugar and top up with soda water, and w-bam you have an ersatz of ginger beer to your taste.
I can't give you exact measurements, but I'd say a thick slice of ginger is enough for one serving of ginger ale-ish.

Great cocktail and worked perfect with a spicy lunch. All the flavours work outstanding together and was very refreshing. Would be a wonderful cocktail on a warm summer afternoon relaxing.

Tried it with kraken for the rum and Bundaberg ginger brew. More on the sweet side. The warmer days can come now.

I did the blasphemy and made this with Havana Club 7 years as that’s the only thing that I had (FBI would like to know my location, I know). Its flavour wasn’t however strong enough to stand in comparison with the ginger beer so definitely try this with a dark/er rum.
