Galab'Ale
• Reunion IslandBartender Guillaume LeBlanc of Indian Ocean Reunion Island is becoming instrumental in supporting local producers in his community by reinventing ginger ale for his Ketel One ‘Galab’Ale Dutch Mule’ - using only ingredients grown in Reunion.
- Because in Reunion Island we are always importing soda & ginger ale, I have decided to use special type of sugar called Galabé syrup, as a base for a local and flavourfull ginger ale. This syrup is made from hand picked only sugar cane. This has been consumed by local people for long time, this is the history, culture and traditions of our ancestra in the island. This local, sustainable ginger ale is the come back of forgotten flavors for reunionese community. I use only local ingredients such as Bourbon vanilla, kaffir lime, 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 store.
Taste it for yourself.
