Ginger Me

Ginger Me: Spicy, Citrusy, and Totally Irresistible

If you’re after a cocktail that brings both warmth and brightness to your glass, look no further than the Ginger Me. Combining bold citrus notes from orange or blood orange gin with the smooth spice of Double Dutch Ginger Ale, this serve is as comforting as it is refreshing. Topped off with a fragrant clove-studded orange garnish, it’s an easy yet elegant cocktail that’s ideal for sipping through the colder months — or anytime you want a little zing with your spice.

The Ginger Me is a celebration of contrasts: sweet and spicy, warming yet fresh. The citrus gin offers a vibrant fruitiness and a hint of zest, while Double Dutch Ginger Ale brings smooth ginger warmth and a touch of caramel richness. Together, they create a cocktail that’s incredibly well-rounded, with depth and flavour in every sip — and just enough fizz to keep it lively.

Why We Love It

This cocktail strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication. It’s quick to make, requires minimal ingredients, and still feels festive and flavourful. The clove-studded orange garnish adds a traditional holiday touch and infuses the drink with subtle aromatic spice as you sip. It’s the kind of cocktail that’s just as welcome at a laid-back get-together as it is at a dinner party — refined, but not fussy.

Perfect For…

The Ginger Me is made for autumn and winter entertaining. It’s great for pre-dinner drinks, seasonal parties, or simply curling up at home with something comforting and cool. The warmth from the ginger and the spice from the garnish make it especially suited to colder evenings, but its citrusy base keeps it from feeling too heavy — a true all-rounder.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Ginger Ale brings smoothness and depth to this drink. Unlike many overly sweet ginger ales, this one is perfectly balanced — rich in flavour but never overpowering. Its natural ginger spice enhances the botanicals in the gin and adds that signature warmth that makes this cocktail so special.

Top Tips for Serving

• Use plenty of ice: A well-chilled drink helps the flavours shine and balances the sweetness.
• Choose a wide glass: A rocks or highball glass gives space for the garnish and ice, enhancing the experience.
• Garnish with flair: Slice a round of orange and stud it with whole cloves for a festive finish that’s both beautiful and aromatic.

Simple, seasonal and stylish, the Ginger Me is your go-to when you want to serve something that’s equal parts spicy and refreshing. It’s proof that with just a few quality ingredients, you can create a cocktail that’s comforting, complex and absolutely delicious.
