The King's Ginger
I stopped at a favorite brewpub last night, and the bartender was kind enough to let me sample a couple his favorites. I tried one that I had never even seen on the shelves. It's a rich and VERY gingery (hence the name) liqueur that, according to the bartender, is traditionally carried on foxhunts. He said it was difficult to find, but, on a whim, I stopped at our local high-end liquor store and found a bottle.
Sooo. . .for your next foxhunt (or just a nice after-dinner relaxing drink) you might give it a try.

I think it may be a bit of a challenge for us on this side of the pond to find. Google gave me this: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archi ... ca/251903/

It looks like it's infused post-distillation so you should be able to approximate it at home.

It has become more popular since appearing in "The Chap" magazine a couple of years ago so I reckon any independent wine merchants (at least half decent ones) will stock it.Rufus wrote:SWMBO and I are heading over to England next week for our annual "dust-up" with the family. I'm going to be on the look out for a bottle of The King's Ginger. Of course I'll be re-stocking with TOBS and Trumpers whilst in St Peter Port, Guernsey...no VAT

Unfortunately I couldn't find any, either in the Southampton/Winchester area or in St Peter Port, Guernsey, when we were there in late May.joe mcclaine wrote:It has become more popular since appearing in "The Chap" magazine a couple of years ago so I reckon any independent wine merchants (at least half decent ones) will stock it.Rufus wrote:SWMBO and I are heading over to England next week for our annual "dust-up" with the family.
