Mankind has been guzzling and stirring, squeezing and pressing ginger into food and drinks for millennia. A strange, knobbly root with a strikingly pretty flower, it is earth, citrus and fire – a catalogue of tastes and tingles that entertains pallets across all four continents. 

The laser-like eye of Gusto Organic Drinks decided we need to take our own unique approach to this venerable plant. Therefore, our all-new organic ginger drink needed to be organic certified, without the use of refined sugar and without the requirement to shock the blood sugar levels of our customers, as traditional ginger soft drinks so often like to do. 

We use fresh organic ginger juice from Peru and we blend it with ginger extract from Nigeria and Indonesia, with each ginger bringing unique flavour notes, depth and zing. We sweeten this with organic apple juice and organic blue agave from Jalisco in Mexico (apples, ginger, agave are perfect flavour foils for each other). We add to this a reasonable glug of organic lemon juice (we like a little sour with our sweet) and, to elevate this champion of beverages to a higher plane, we blend in jalapeno to add a hint of fire in its tail.

We wager this is the quintessential adult soft drink: complex, decidedly grown-up, sweet, hot, zingy and dry. But if adult soft drinks are not all you are after, it is a superb mixer with Vodka, or for that legendary ‘Dark and Stormy’, with Rum. 

Ginger, we salute you in all your organic and botanical finery.
