P Portland Syrups Spicy Ginger Syrup 12 oz (Pack of 2) — Habanero & Serrano Heat, Fresh Basil, Low Sugar

Portland Syrups Spicy Ginger Syrup is a small-batch, habanero-and-serrano infused ginger syrup that adds a bright, spicy kick and basil aroma to cocktails, mocktails, and culinary uses.

Made in Oregon with whole ginger, fresh basil, and real chili peppers, this 12 oz pack of two bottles stretches to roughly 24 cocktail-sized servings. The syrup is hand-brewed for layered ginger flavor with bold heat, and it's sweetened less than typical mixers so it brightens drinks without overwhelming them. Use it to build stirred and shaken drinks, soda-style refreshments, or as a finishing glaze for savory dishes.

How does this syrup change the flavor of my cocktails?

It brings concentrated fresh ginger warmth up front, then a pronounced chili heat that lingers, finishing with a herbaceous basil note. Because it's brewed from whole ingredients, the flavor is multidimensional—spicy, slightly sweet, and herbal rather than one-note.

• Fresh whole-ginger base for natural zing and complexity
• Habanero and serrano provide immediate heat and lingering spice
• Basil adds a green, aromatic balance
• Lower sugar level keeps cocktails crisp and less cloying

How do I use Portland Syrups Spicy Ginger Syrup in drinks?

It mixes easily into shaken cocktails, stirred highballs, and soda-style mocktails. Start with 0.5–1 oz per drink and adjust to taste; it pairs exceptionally well with clear spirits and dark liquors alike.

• Mix 0.75 oz syrup with vodka, lime, and soda for a spicy mule
• Stir 0.5–1 oz into bourbon with citrus for a ginger-spiced old-fashioned twist
• Add to sparkling water and lemon for a refreshing nonalcoholic soda
• Use as a finishing drizzle over grilled shrimp or roasted vegetables

What makes this syrup different from other ginger mixers?

This syrup emphasizes whole-ingredient depth and a bolder heat profile rather than relying on extracts or heavy sweeteners. It’s crafted in small batches with a noticeably lower sugar content, so it brightens cocktails instead of masking spirits.

• Hand-brewed in Oregon from whole ginger and fresh chiles
• Contains fresh basil for complexity instead of artificial flavoring
• Approximately 40% less sugar than many commercial mixers
• Concentrated formula designed to stretch across multiple servings

How should I store and measure the syrup for best results?

Refrigerate after opening and use within the timeframe recommended on the label for peak flavor. Measure with a jigger or bar spoon—it's concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

• Refrigerate after opening to preserve fresh ginger and basil notes
• Use 0.5–1 oz per cocktail; adjust based on desired heat
• Shake or stir well into cocktails for even distribution
• Keep bottle upright away from strong sunlight to maintain quality
