A premium ginger liqueur from Big O of St. Louis, Missouri — created by Bill Foster and Kathy Kuper as a family project when their son headed off to college and Bill's university position was eliminated; what began as a personal-favorite homemade ginger liqueur recipe became a small-batch commercial spirit, with son Chris Foster now leading marketing in the family operation. Made in small batches with artisan-distilled spirits and all-natural, whole ingredients — including chopped fresh ginger root — with no artificial additives.
Character: Plenty of true ginger flavor yet remarkably smooth — fresh spiciness with a nuanced palate, a hint of citrus, and a warm, light, pleasant finish (per independent press and tasting coverage; the producer publishes no formal tasting notes).
Awards: Silver Medal, Beverage Testing Institute 2013; Silver Medal, LA International Spirits Competition 2016; Silver Medal, USA Spirits Ratings Spring 2022 (the official site also displays Bronze badges from the New York International and San Francisco World Spirits competitions, years not clearly attributed).
Serve: A premium sipping liqueur — chilled neat, over ice, or in ginger-forward cocktails.
ABV: 17% (34 Proof)
