Production & Ingredients

Real Mixers produces a range of fruit and botanical purees aimed at professional bartenders and home cocktail enthusiasts. This ginger expression uses premium Laiwu ginger — a Chinese variety prized for its assertive heat and aromatic intensity — gently blended with cane sugar syrup. The result is a smooth, pourable puree that balances raw ginger spice with enough sweetness to integrate directly into cocktail recipes without additional simple syrup adjustments.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Immediate rush of fresh root ginger followed by warm, candied ginger sweetness. A subtle earthiness lingers underneath the dominant spice.

Taste: The entry is bright and sharp with raw ginger heat that quickly transitions into rounder, sweeter candied ginger notes at mid-palate. The cane sugar component tempers the bite without masking the ginger's natural pungency.

Finish: A lingering ginger spice coats the palate with moderate warmth. The sweetness fades first, leaving clean, dry ginger root character.

How to Use Real Ginger Puree

This puree works as a direct substitute for muddled or fresh-juiced ginger in any cocktail application — simply measure and pour. Its pre-sweetened profile means adjustments to sugar content may be needed when substituting in recipes that already call for simple syrup.

• Penicillin: The concentrated ginger heat pairs naturally with blended Scotch and honey-lemon, creating a well-layered drink with less prep time than muddling fresh ginger.
• Moscow Mule: Adding a barspoon of this puree to vodka and ginger beer amplifies the ginger dimension beyond what ginger beer alone provides.
• Dark & Stormy: The candied ginger sweetness complements aged rum's caramel notes, adding depth to this classic highball.

Best For

• Home bartenders building a cocktail ingredient pantry
• Batch cocktail preparation for parties and gatherings
• Professional bar programs seeking consistent ginger flavor across shifts
• Adding ginger punch to non-alcoholic mocktails and sodas

Why Real Ginger Puree?

What separates this product from generic ginger syrups is its puree format — it retains more of the textural body and aromatic complexity of whole ginger than a clear syrup can. The use of Laiwu ginger, a variety known for its potent flavor and fibrous structure, gives this puree a noticeably sharper ginger profile than products relying on milder ginger cultivars. For anyone making ginger-forward cocktails regularly, the 500ml format reduces both prep time and ingredient inconsistency while maintaining the authentic ginger character that defines drinks like the Penicillin and Gold Rush.
