Joseph Cartron Gingembre is a ginger liqueur bottled at 18% ABV. Joseph Cartron is a family distillery in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in Burgundy, that has been producing benchmark liqueurs since 1882.
Gingembre is French for ginger, and this liqueur captures the root's bright, zesty heat in a lightly sweet, approachable form.
In the glass it shows fresh ginger with a warming spice, a touch of citrus and a gentle sweetness that balances the heat.
It is a versatile cocktail ingredient, adding instant warmth and zing to sours, mules and highballs.
Like the rest of the Cartron range, it comes in the house's tall, slender bottle with the 1882 crest, a handsome addition to any home bar. It is a thoughtful gift for home bartenders, and it sits naturally alongside the other Cartron liqueurs for anyone building a well-stocked cocktail cabinet.

How to Enjoy It
Use Cartron Gingembre to add a ginger kick to cocktails: a splash in a Moscow Mule or a Dark and Stormy deepens the ginger beer, and it pairs beautifully with Scotch, honey and lemon in a Penicillin. Try it with gin, lime and soda for a bright highball, with bourbon and lemon in a ginger sour, or with sparkling wine for a spicy spritz. On its own, serve it chilled over ice with a twist of lemon, or warm it into a hot toddy on a cold night. It also works in the kitchen, in a glaze for salmon or pork or drizzled over poached pears. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
