Ginger Beer

Sierra Leone

What we know so far

Sierra Leone's ginger beer has no beer in it and no fizz. It is a strong, cold infusion of pounded fresh ginger, sweetened and sharpened with lime, sold in plastic bags and bottles from coolers on the street and made at home in bulk for parties, Christmas and Ramadan. The same drink runs the length of the West African coast, from Freetown to Monrovia and Lagos, with pineapple, cloves or allspice added according to the house.
