The King's Ginger

A one-word tasting note for The King’s Ginger would read ‘delicious’ – and not just on the Feast of Stephen. Given its intense f lavour, rich history and gorgeous new packaging, you’d be foolish not to ask for more…

Seductively golden with a deep, warm gingery bite, a crisp zing of lemon sherbet and a smooth, lingering mouthfeel. A mere description of The King’s Ginger would suffice to get a spot of colour in your wind-chilled cheeks. As for the taste – well, that decadent combination of flavours is sure to get you hot under the collar. Just what you’d expect of a liqueur created to ‘warm and revivify’ none other than Edward VII.

We’ve updated the name and the packaging since the reign of the scandal-courting sovereign, but the emphatic ginger flavour remains unchanged. Today’s King’s Ginger is still appreciated by bon viveurs, sporting gentlemen and high-spirited ladies who require a little spicing up. Not just on cold days, mind you. It’s proven a splendidly uplifting tonic all year round, on its own as well as in cocktails and long drinks.
