Oct 20, 2019
Here at Craft Gin Club, we know that royally good spirits (like Gin 1689!) deserve to be paired with craft cocktail ingredients that truly complement them. This October, we are adding a touch of warmth to our tipples with the gentle spice of the ¾ Oz. Ginger Ale Syrup in our October Gin of the Month box!
Nothing goes together quite like gin and ginger, especially as autumn well and truly arrives! ¾ Oz.’s Alexandrine Lemaire smiles, “Ginger is a cornerstone of cocktails, and we find it lends itself exceptionally well to complex spirits like gin.”
When handcrafting their Ginger Ale Syrup, the artisans at ¾ Oz. go to painstaking lengths to preserve the flavours of fresh ginger, which complement even the most delicate of botanicals. Alexandrine explains, “Unlike ready-made ginger beverages which are industrially produced, our all-natural syrup retains the subtle spice of ginger, which is rounded out with the fruity notes of Amarillo hops.”
This October, we recommend curling up on the sofa and spicing things up with this gorgeous Ginger Ale Syrup. Here are some serves to get you started!
