Bad memories too. When my best friend announced he was getting married, we went to the pub at opening time and started on the range of "Vodkas with stuff in" - each getting a round in of the worst stuff we could think of. Several hours of chilli and garlic vodka later.....

Anyway, the future King's Ginger is Prince Harry, surely ?

And is "appreciated by sporting gentlemen and high-spirited ladies ever since" code for something ?

Definately going to give that a try.
Has he sweetened it with anything like honey or maple syrup?

This arrived today and is rather good.

I've used it to give a Moscow Mule extra kick, since it's quite - ahem - 'warming'.

Describe it to me.

It's ginger, presumably. But is it sweet? Bitter? Scotch-like?

[RPastry]

its a sweet liqueur but pretty fiery. think cointreau minus the orange but with a huge ginger kick instead.

Its been sweetened with the syrup from the jars of stem ginger.
