Gusto Organic Fiery Ginger with Jalapeño blends ginger extract from Nigeria and Indonesia with fresh ginger juice to deliver a big ginger hit balanced with smoke and heat from Mexican Jalapeño. This quintessential adult soft drink is sweetened with blue agave from Mexico and Fairtrade apple juice and is 20% lower in calories than regular sodas.

We use fresh organic ginger juice from China and we blend it with ginger from Nigeria and Indonesia, with each ginger bringing notes of flavour, depth and zing. We sweeten this with organic and Fairtrade apple juice and organic fairtrade blue agave from Jalisco in Mexico (apples, ginger, agave are perfect flavour foils for each other). We add to this a reasonable glug of organic lemon juice (we like a little sour with our sweet) and, to elevate this champion of beverages to a higher plane, we blend in Mexican Jalapeño – a wonderful smoked chilli that offers heat, a little smoke and a wonderful sackful of background hum.

We wager this is the quintessential adult soft drink: complex, decidedly grown-up, sweet, hot, zingy and dry. But if adult soft drinks are not all you are after, it is a superb mixer with Vodka, or for that legendary ‘Dark and Stormy’, with Rum.
