Ginger is a unique spice and I can see its appeal in cocktails - it's sweet, savory and spicy and easily blends well with the flavors of many different types of spirits. It brings out the juniper, citrus and floral components of gin, enhances the baking spice and caramel notes of rum and Bourbon, brings out the vanilla flavors of Cognac and of course stands on it's own with the neutral nature of vodka…
