Prem Ale
Prem Ale, sometimes hyphenated as Prem-Ale, is a regional soft drink primarily associated with the state of Kerala in India. It is a carbonated beverage known for its distinctive flavor profile, often described as a blend of ginger, lemon, and spices. Prem Ale is typically bottled in glass bottles and sold at local stores and eateries throughout Kerala.
While mass-produced soft drinks have gained popularity, Prem Ale retains a dedicated consumer base, particularly among those who appreciate its traditional taste and the fact that it is often perceived as a more localized and less processed alternative to multinational brands. Specific ingredients and manufacturing processes can vary by producer, contributing to regional variations in taste. Its availability outside of Kerala is limited, making it somewhat of a regional specialty.
