Ginger Wine Is A Flavorfully Spicy Drink Without Any Alcohol
By Camryn Teder
Contrary to its name, ginger wine is void of any alcohol. Due to its lack of any spirits, some people choose to dub this beverage Ginger Pop or ginger soda.
No matter its title, ginger wine still packs a refreshingly spicy bite thanks to the heavy ginger element which makes it a good substitute for other cocktails like the Moscow Mule.
Ginger wine also contains Eastern spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg, and can be topped with spicy chiles, lime juice, and caramelized sugar.
Ginger offers many health benefits, including reducing nausea and vomiting. This, in addition to its antioxidant content, makes ginger wine the perfect cure for common illnesses.
To make this drink, you'll need fresh ginger, sugar, limes, dried Kashmiri chiles, cloves, cinnamon sticks, cardamom, nutmeg, and a mortar and pestle to grind them into powder.
Since ginger wine is so thick, you can mix it with sparkling water or ginger ale for a fizzy drink. Or, simply drizzle it on your favorite fruits, desserts, or on a cheese board.
