Maybe the tequenos threw off the flavor. This can happen with colas.

the only time i've ever had root beer is with vanilla ice cream for a sweet, sweet root-beer float.

The difference is the real sugar. It's the same in England and it definitely makes a difference. American soda is more syrupy.

Pepsi Max is the best, certainly the one made in Norway.
I have tried the Mexican Coca Cola, it was good.

I always have an A&W root beer in my car along with an unsweet iced tea bottle...sometimes I trade out the root beer for a diet Dr Pepper

saw a person getting out of their car with a case of pepsi cans and i did a double-take
have not seen a purchase like that first-hand in ages
certain demographics moved on
to seltzers
quantity of consumption like that is disturbing at this point
<clutches pearls>

I was a seltzer guy for a while, but it's an expensive habit (also, I think it is bad for your teeth). Now I mostly drink water with a scoop of biosteel out of a half gallon jug.

according to the recipe i found, all you need is 3 tablespoons of filtered water, and 1 tbsp each of chopped (or diced) ginger (w/skin) and granulated sugar. I opted for organic raw cane sugar.
note: all the damn recipes for a bug i found on the internet vary pretty wildly, but the ingredients are all the same.
the recipe i found calls for the aforementioned ingredients to be placed in a jar, covered with something breathable, like a cheesecloth or a paper towel, and set out at room temp for 24 hours. then for the next 4-5 days feed with a tbsp of ginger and sugar.
i wanted to make a bug for ginger beer or some other probiotic soda, maybe mango, but mostly ginger beer.
i started the bug last Thursday, and it's supposed to get bubbly within 4-5 days. i'm not seeing those results, so i'm going to start over. this time I'll do a sealed jar for 24 hours, then cover with a towel or cheesecloth for the next 4-5 days.
has anyone ever made one?
the second attempt at making a ginger bug was a success. I bottled a batch last night, and have burped it this morning. it's looking nice and fizzy already, and should be ready to taste in a few days.
i steeped the simple syrup for it for a long time last night before bottling. i've heard/read the longer you steep ginger the spicier it is.
