If store-bought ginger beer doesn’t pack enough of a flavor wallop, you could always make your own. That’s what Caroline Mak and Antonio Ramos did when they were unsatisfied with the lack of spiciness available on grocery store shelves. They started brewing up batches at home in Clinton Hill. After some experimentation with yeast – the old-school way – they switched to carbonating fresh juices. Now they make sodas in all kinds of interesting and seemingly bizarre flavors like cucumber-lime-sea salt, apple, grapefruit-jalapeno-honey and maple syrup-bacon. Yes, bacon. In soda.

After some test batches made in small siphons, the couple decided to try and sell their creations at Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene. They debuted at the first outdoor market of the season on April 10, where they completely sold out of their three flavors of soda (lemon ginger beer, cucumber-lime-sea salt and grapefruit-jalapeno-honey) by mid-afternoon. Brooklyn Soda Works will be at the flea market on Saturdays during the outdoor season, offering a rotating roster of their unique fizzy beverages.
