Not so long ago, bartenders in Toronto were looking to house-made ginger syrup and ginger beer to spice up their cocktails. As such, DIY was the prevailing ginger ethic.

Now, though, we’ve gone from a dearth of options to a plethora. Well, at least two: Domaine de Canton and The King’s Ginger. Price-wise, the latter is much more affordable. In addition, it packs a greater punch, since it’s not as sweet as Domaine and is higher in alcohol content. That said, Domaine de Canton is probably ever so slightly easier to work with for a lot of cocktails. So, let’s call The King’s something like “Ginger 2.0.”, even though it’s actually an older product (by about a century).

Coming in through Vintages, there aren’t many bottles of The King’s Ginger in the province and, so, at $32.95, it won’t last long.
