I don’t know who hurt Jared, but someone clearly did, because this rum comes with a kick. And a wink. And a lingering warmth that reminds you it definitely wasn’t apple juice.
Ginger Snap is the fiery, flirty little cousin of our rum family. It’s ginger-forward with a jalapeño burn that sneaks up on you just when you’re thinking, “Oh hey, that’s kind of sweet.” Next thing you know, your lips are tingling, your eyes are watering a little, and you're telling people it's not that hot while reaching for a chaser. In other words: perfect.
I think this one was made in a moment of chaotic inspiration—probably while chewing on a candied ginger and staring at a bag of peppers. I didn’t ask. I’ve learned not to. I just build the web pages and taste test the results (strictly for quality control purposes, of course).
Origins
The name Ginger Snap just sort of wrote itself. It’s ginger. It snaps. It’s also got a redheaded gnome on the label who looks like she got a little too confident with her SPF choices. That’s Gnorm’s cousin sunbathing like she owns the patio at a Vegas pool bar, wearing shades and catching rays like a boss. You can practically feel the heat radiating off the bottle.
As for the rum itself? I’d love to tell you exactly how it’s made. I’d love even more if Jared would write it down in something other than "chaotic gnome scrawl." What I can tell you is it involves fresh ginger, actual jalapeños, and probably a small fire extinguisher somewhere in the process.
Behind the scenes
Ginger Snap is dangerously sippable on its own, but where it really shines is in one of our tasting room favorites: the “I’m a Spicy Peach.” This cocktail stirs up Ginger Snap rum, gin, peach, and jalapeño for a bold kick with a sweet wink. It's a full-on flavor rollercoaster—like being slapped and then kissed by someone who smells amazing.
So grab a bottle, pour a glass, and toast to gingers, spice, and all things nice.
