my thoughts so far,
I've tried reed's extra, ginger people,fentiman's and cock & bull.
The rum's I used were meyer's dark and gosling's blackstrap.
The wahine and I both enjoyed the ginger people and fentiman's on there own but we'll stick with Reed's extra to drink on ice.
O.K. I have to say that that when I've tried gosling's before I wasn't pleased with it, I got an off root beerish flavor, so no surprise
I didn't like it with any of the ginger beers. Though we like meyer's (what can I say) I didn't really care for any of the drinks until we mixed it with cock & bull! The sweetness of it's sugar and a slight bitterness of it's strong ginger flavor won out and sold us on this drink!
I started out using to much lime ( I like lot's of lime juice in most drinks) but discovered that a standard wedge was enough.
So, though we started with a 1 to 1 ginger beer to rum ratio, were taken with a 1 1/2oz cock & bull to 1oz Meyers dark rum ratio, lime, crushed ice and yes, stir it!
