Grapefruit Ginger Zing

Grapefruit ginger vodka with chilli, fennel and star anise

Grapefruit Ginger Zing is a radiant blend born from the meeting of sunlit citrus groves and the earthy warmth of spice. Fresh grapefruit lends its sharp tang and bright aroma, while slices of golden ginger weave in a lively rhythm of heat and depth. Sweetened naturally with dates, raisins, and three kinds of sugar, the liqueur unfolds in layers — zesty, warming, and subtly sweet. A flicker of chili gives it that final spark, the “zing” that wakes the palate and enlivens the soul. Each sip glows like a sunrise, bright yet grounded, leaving behind a smooth, spicy warmth. It’s a drink for those who love contrasts — light and fire, sweetness and bite, comfort and energy — all bottled into one vibrant elixir of joy
