This diet ginger ale is best served cold, straight from the refrigerator or over ice.

It can also be used as a base for non-alcoholic beverages, adding a zesty kick to mocktails. Some bakers find that the carbonation and flavor can add a unique element when used in certain cake or muffin recipes, though it's important to consider the sweetness level.

How to keep the rest
