I'm so proud.

Yes, I used to work here.

Ginger Liqueur Part 3

Two thumbs up for the honey ginger liqueur! It is a smooth sipping, soul warming nectar that satisfies through and through. Highly recommended. Decant it into a clean, sealable bottle after steeping it for several weeks as there's a little bit of residue at the bottom from the ginger. It's harmless, just unattractive.

Ginger Liqueur Part 2

After one week of aging, I've tried the sugared version of my ginger liqueur, and let me tell you, it's really good. It has a wonderful, citrus and ginger aroma, a smooth, sweet front and a nice ginger spiciness on the way down. This was the second boiling of the ginger, and it was made with pure sugar rather than sugar and honey together. I did, however, boil this one for about 30 minutes instead of just 10, so I'll be curious to taste the first one and see how the ginger bite came through.

I wasn't too crazy about the E&J brandy I used, but as a base for this liqueur, it's perfect.

The ginger candy that came from the boiling of this liqueur turned out nice and chewy, and really spicy. Give it a try and you won't want to bother with store bought candied ginger again.
