The King’s Ginger is a bold, ginger-forward liqueur originally crafted in 1903 for King Edward VII — made with natural ginger and a lift of lemon, with a rich golden hue and warming spice.
Commissioned by King Edward VII’s physician in 1903 to warm the monarch during open-top motorcar rides, The King’s Ginger has become a celebrated winter warmer. Made from natural ginger and lemon, it carries a syrupy-sweet entry that gives way to a spicy ginger tingle, with a bright citrus lift. It shines on its own and as a base for cocktails.
