Portland Syrups Ginger Syrup, Oregon

Japanese chilies give the fresh ginger in Portland Syrups Ginger Syrup an extra flicker of heat. Brewed in Oregon from organic Peruvian ginger root, this concentrate brings a lively, warming bite to homemade sodas and cocktails. Its focused flavor works equally well with the lime of a Moscow Mule, dark rum, or a straightforward whiskey and ginger.

Producer's Background:

Dan McLaughlin and Chris Onstad founded Portland Soda Works in 2013, building the business that became Portland Syrups. Their search for more compelling nonalcoholic restaurant drinks led to extensive experiments with botanical ingredients. Today, the company brews and bottles its concentrates in Southeast Portland, offering versatile foundations for sodas, cocktails, and alcohol-free drinks.

Serving Suggestions:

Mix one ounce with six ounces of chilled sparkling water over ice. For a Moscow Mule, combine the syrup with vodka, fresh lime and sparkling water in a tall glass. Try it with dark rum or whiskey, adjusting the syrup to suit your preferred sweetness and heat.
