Frequently asked questions about cocktails with ginger

  1. Which alcohol goes well with ginger? Gin, vodka, rum and even prosecco are wonderful accompaniments. Ginger goes particularly well with spirits that have clear, fresh notes.
  2. Can I use fresh ginger instead of syrup? Absolutely! Fresh ginger adds a natural spiciness – simply grate it finely or muddle it in slices.
