Why not just drink ginger ale without adding to it?
I have had cranberry ginger ale before - that was good.

@Joe Nation,
I've known a lot of people to drink whisky and ginger ale. "Seven-and-ginger" (meaning Seagram's 7 whiskey and...) used to be a standard order known to every bartender.
I always thought the drink sucked myself but then what did I know?

What can be done with ginger ale?
The only kind of soft drink that's impossible to make into a decent cocktail
Who mixes booze with ginger ale? Noone, that who.
Ginger beer (like Stewarts or Boylans) are very tangy fine flavored beverages best enjoyed cold and neat>

You're kidding, right? I don't know if it's totally out of fashion now, but where I grew up (Boston, MA) ginger ale was probably the most common mixer for serious street drunks. Didn't much matter what kind of liquor you mixed it with, whatever was to hand that you had stolen somewhere.(I ain't talkin' about the martini and Rob Roy crowd now.)

Oh. They are here from China and you feed them from the roach coach. There goes thirty years of international relations.
HA!
Well, we are in an industrial area of Queens (Hunter's Point Ave near the Queensborough Bridge).
The food truck is nearby.
We will be trying other places.

All this talk about meatloaf. Meatloaf is hardly American. My sainted mother used to make meatloaf from a recipe handed down from her grandmother, all Eastern Europeans.
An example: Fried chicken with mashed potatoes smothered in gravy with fried okra, black eyed peas, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. Chess pie for desert.
