Ginger Spice: Bold, Warming and Full of Festive Flair

When the temperature drops, the Ginger Spice cocktail is exactly what you need to warm things up. With a rich base of spiced rum, the fiery fizz of Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger, and garnishes that bring both fragrance and flair, this cocktail is a comforting yet refreshing winter crowd-pleaser. It’s bold, balanced, and full of seasonal flavour — perfect for fireside sipping or celebrating with friends.

The Ginger Spice delivers everything the name promises: warm spice, zesty brightness, and a subtle sweetness that ties it all together. Spiced rum brings rich notes of vanilla, clove and caramel, while Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger adds a fruity, slightly tart edge and a ginger-forward kick. The result is a cocktail that feels comforting and familiar but still bright and lively — ideal for wintry evenings or festive get-togethers.

Why We Love It

Few drinks walk the line between bold and refreshing like the Ginger Spice. The spiced rum delivers depth and warmth, while the ginger fizz keeps things light and fresh. It’s quick to prepare, easy to serve, and has just the right amount of visual flair to impress your guests — especially with its vibrant garnishes of fresh cranberries and a slice of zingy ginger.

Perfect For…

This cocktail is made for the festive season, but it works just as well on chilly spring evenings or as a pick-me-up after a long day. Serve it at your next holiday party, or make it your signature drink for relaxed nights in. It’s particularly good as a welcome drink — strong enough to set the tone, but approachable enough for all palates.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Cranberry & Ginger is the hero of this cocktail. Its tart cranberry bite cuts through the sweetness of the rum, while the ginger adds warmth and spice that lingers just the right amount. The natural carbonation lifts the drink, making it feel light and bubbly, even with a rich base spirit like rum.

Top Tips for Serving

• Use large ice cubes: They melt slower, keeping the drink cool without too much dilution.
• Fresh cranberries are a must: They add colour, texture, and a touch of tartness as they infuse into the drink.
• Slice ginger thinly: A fresh round of ginger adds aroma and a little bite with each sip.

With its warming spice, bold fruitiness and vibrant finish, the Ginger Spice is a winter cocktail that keeps things fun and flavourful. Whether you’re cuddled up indoors or dancing around the kitchen with friends, this one’s guaranteed to bring a little heat and a lot of joy to your glass.
