Jamaican Ginger Wine
Jamaicans love their ginger, in food and in drinks, including the favourite fizzy ginger beer. Jamaican ginger wine is made from a fermented blend of ground ginger root and raisins which was first produced in England. It is often fortified by being blended with brandy (especially cognac). Ginger wine is often drunk the way whiskey or scotch is, that is, on the rocks or straight up. Ginger wine can also be used as a mixer.
