"There are two kinds of people who like Rachel’s Ginger Beer: people who don’t drink alcohol and appreciate a 0.0 percent beverage, and people who love a good mixer. Point is, anyone can appreciate the punch of ginger, carbonation, and sweetness that’s packed into every sip of an RGB drink. This year, as usual, the brand founded by Rachel Marshall is doing its much-hyped honeycrisp cider, but the original flavor is hard to beat. A four-pack, at $78, should get you through the coldest part of winter." - Harry Cheadle
"Those who didn’t know Marshall personally probably know about her through Rachel’s Ginger Beer (RGB), which she started in the kitchen of John Sundstrom’s bar Licorous. Inspired from her time living in Europe, the ginger beer is a pungent, thoroughly adult (though nonalcoholic) beverage, a world away from typical ginger ale. She went from selling it at farmer’s markets to having four storefronts throughout Seattle — including a flagship Pike Place location — and shipping her products all over the country." - Harry Cheadle
"In the back corner of Rachel’s Ginger Beer at University Village is a little counter serving a condensed version of Ma’ono Fried Chicken’s menu—spicy chicken sandwiches, chicken fingers, salads, fries, and macaroni with a kimchi-infused cheese sauce. Not only is it a quick dinner situation, but it’s also quite affordable. You need this chicken sandwich—now go get it." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano
"There are three enticing options for boozy frozen drinks at this well-known Seattle franchise, including the black cherry Moscow mule and its “tropical” twist on a dark and stormy. But creative types might want to think about adding a shot of any spirit to the shop’s variety of floats, which are available for both takeout and dine-in, or go for the “build-a-mule” option." - Megan Hill, Gabe Guarente
"This location of the iconic Seattle soda chain serves up not only its signature fizzy beverages (refreshing for those parched after hours sifting through sales racks), but also the wildly popular fried chicken from Ma’ono. There are also hot toddies, soft serve, floats, and various Moscow mules, along with other cocktails on tap." - Gabe Guarente
