Frequently Asked Questions
What are other ginger syrup cocktails I can make?
Ginger syrup plays well with whiskey in a Penicillin or with rum and lime for a fresh twist on a Mojito. It also shines in no alcohol cocktails for anyone skipping the booze.
How is this different from a traditional Moscow Mule?
Ginger beer brings sweetness and carbonation that change from brand to brand. Ginger syrup and club soda let you control the spice and bubbles so the drink lands exactly where you want it.
Why use a copper mug?
Copper chills fast and stays cold which makes every sip feel extra icy. It keeps the cocktail frosty longer and adds to the whole experience.
