Yes. Also Blenheim Ginger Ale is good. This was my attempt to clone their good stuff. Not perfect but really close.

9.5 oz (net weight) of peeled ginger 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 cups + 6 cups water 1/4 tsp yeast (white wine or champagne is best but bread yeast will do)

  • place the peeled ginger into a food processor
  • blend until creamy
  • add the ginger, sugar, lemon juice and the two cups of water in a sauce pan
  • turn the heat on to high and stir until sugar is dissolved
  • bring to a boil
  • place lid on the pot and lower the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes
  • remove from heat
  • cover and let rest for 1 hour
  • strain it through a fine strainer or cheese cloth and a funnel into a plastic two liter bottle
  • add in the rest of the water
  • use an ice bath or time let it cool to 70f
  • add the yeast, be sure to proof your yeast first
  • put the lid on the bottle
  • shake it up
  • replace the lid with some foil or an air lock
  • let rest for 24-48 hours at room temp
  • place it in the refrigerator to stop fermentation
  • release the gas every day to avoid it from exploding

I make mine with a ginger bug. I put the recipe in the non alcoholic thread in the cocktails community. So sort of a sweet ginger lemonade fermented with the natural yeast in the ginger, until it's less sweet.
