Finest Spiced Ginger is a rich, fiery non-alcoholic ginger cordial from James White, delicious sipped neat, warmed as a winter drink, or mixed with whisky for a classic Ginger Mac. As the tale goes, young Cornelius first heard of a delicious ginger drink from his cook, and after many years of patient tinkering with the recipe finally pronounced himself satisfied.
