Ginger Beer Sweet-Heat Pulled Pork balances caramelized sweetness with a gentle kick, thanks to smoky paprika, red pepper flakes, and the warm zip of ginger beer. The pork turns ultra-tender and juicy, soaking up oniony aromatics and a touch of brown sugar. Serve it piled on buns or over rice for a cozy weekend dinner or casual game-day gathering.
