"Because in Reunion Island we are always importing soda & ginger ale, I have decided to use a special type of sugar called Galabé syrup, as a base for a local and flavourful ginger ale. This syrup is made from hand-picked sugar cane. This has been consumed by local people for a long time, this is the history, culture and traditions of our ancestra on the island.

This local, sustainable ginger ale is the return of previously forgotten flavours for the Reunionese community. I use only local ingredients such as Bourbon vanilla, kaffir lime, and high-quality ginger. Now on this little island, we can enjoy a Ketel One Dutch Mule with a tropical taste in most of the best bars, and also at home, Galab Ale is available in specialized stores.
