A
gunner is a
cocktail served in more prominent clubs and bars, especially those popular with
expats, in
Hong Kong and other parts of the
Far East and
India formerly under
British colonial rule. It consists of equal parts
ginger beer (or
lemonade) and
ginger ale with a dash of
Angostura bitters and sometimes a measure of
lime cordial or lemon juice. It is regarded as a non-alcoholic drink, although Angostura bitters is 44.7
lcohol by volume. It is noted for its refreshing qualities, especially in warm weather.
