Additions: I like to add a slice of cucumber to my homemade ginger ale for an extra step of refreshing zing.
A dash of vanilla extract is a nice touch. See our post on How To Make Vanilla Extract for the richest, most potent vanilla you’ve ever had. It’s a baker’s secret ingredient.
Commercial simple syrup: I recommend Monin because of its clean ingredient list. There are several craft suppliers that make small batch simple syrups with clean ingredients as well.
