Taste
The liqueur tastes fruity and spicy, with a fresh citrus note and a hint of herbs. First come orange and lemon, then the heat of the fresh ginger, which slowly becomes warmer. Bourbon vanilla smooths the transition, while fresh rosemary adds a herbal accent. The oak-aged cachaça, a sugarcane spirit from Brazil, gives the whole thing a smooth, slightly woody base. According to the manufacturer, inge does not use any artificial flavorings, extracts, dyes, or flavor enhancers. Anyone accustomed to liqueurs that are primarily sweet and mild will find the spiciness unusual.
Usage
The 4 cl bottle is a single serving, so you don't need a measuring glass. Drink the liqueur slightly chilled neat from a small glass or pour it over a few ice cubes. According to the manufacturer, it is also suitable as a ginger shot and for cocktails. Filled up with tonic water or ginger ale, the small bottle makes a perfect individual long drink. Poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it becomes a dessert.

Our tip: Pack the small bottle into a gift basket along with a jar of fruit spread and some good chocolate. This turns a small souvenir into a little tasting package for ginger fans.

Bottling and labeling are also done by hand. Whatever remains of the fruit is processed into fruit spreads or donated. One recipient is the Munich association "Mammalade für Karla." They volunteer to turn it into jam and support homeless women and children with the proceeds. The manufactory generates some of its electricity with its own photovoltaic system. According to the manufacturer's ingredient list, the liqueur does not contain any of the 14 major allergens.
