Old Ballycastle Ginger from Powell & Mahoney Highly Recommended by the Champagne Wishes Panel of Whom You Know

Ginger is one of my favorite flavors to add to a cocktail. It gives your drink an extra zing that I really love. Powell & Mahoney have an Old Bally Castle Ginger mixer recipe thats been handed down since 1881! For a recipe thats been around for that long, you know it has to be high quality! As with all of Powell & Mahoney's mixers, the ingredients are all natural, and that really comes through in each cocktail you make. This mixer is perfect for mixing with Irish Whiskey or even making a delicious Dark and Stormy. Its an excellent addition to have in the liquor cabinet!

So the only drink I know that uses something with Ginger is a Dark & Stormy. So I had to get a little creative when I received the bottle of Old Ballycastle Ginger from Powell & Mahoney. The last review I did of something ginger, made me pour it all over vanilla bean ice-cream which was fantastic. So you could technically make a ginger ice-cream float with this mix which I am sure is scrumptious. But I decided to really go for it and try what it says on the back of the bottle and mix it with some brandy. Wow did it pack a punch! An intense flavor with medicinal properties make this great choice when you are looking kick it up a notch!

We love Powell and Mahoney vintage original cocktail mixers. Their all natural mixers are a through back to the lost art of a good cocktail. Their Ginger mixer is the perfect example of this. You can follow the recipes on the back of the bottle or explore the endless recipes on their website. We promise you won't be disappointed. Our favorite new cocktail is made with Powell and Mahoney's Ginger mixer, it's called a "Moscow Mule". Now, aren't you curious to try one?

Also, you know Peachy knows a thing or two about cocktails but we all know that Mover and Shaker Charles Ferri, Founder and CEO of Star Vodka knows even more so he was put to work by Peachy and was kind enough to share his opinion. He says on the Ginger Mixer - "Wow a true tasting ginger mixer that has the spice and flavor of fresh ginger - this is my favorite of all we tried. Powell & Mahoney nailed this on what ginger should taste like in a mixer."

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
