A fiery, unfiltered ginger liqueur balancing cold-pressed root heat with raw jaggery, zesty lime, and a subtle lick of mineral salt.

Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestions

Shake before pouring to remix the naturally hazy, glowing amber-gold liquid. On the nose, it hits straight away with vibrant, freshly grated root ginger, accompanied by candied citrus peel, warm molasses, and a faint tropical lift of green mango.

Take a sip and you get a real burst of authentic ginger heat—clean, sharp, and natural rather than candied or sickly. The fiery spice is neatly countered by the rich, earthy sweetness of unrefined jaggery cane sugar and a tart squeeze of fresh lime juice. A discreet pinch of Himalayan pink salt and Indian black salt adds savoury depth, grounding the sweetness and leaving a long, warming, lipsmacking finish.

Serving Suggestions:

• Neat Over Ice: Give the bottle a gentle shake, pour 50ml over a single large ice cube, and let the cloud of spice and citrus unfold slowly.

• The Kaveri Highball: Pour 50ml of Kaveri over ice in a tall glass, top with good quality soda water (or cloudy apple juice for a fruitier twist), and finish with a fresh lime wedge.

• Cocktail Twist: It makes an exceptional replacement for traditional ginger syrup or liqueur in a Scotch-based Penicillin, adds a warming kick to a classic Mule, or shakes up beautifully alongside reposado tequila and fresh lime for a spicy Margarita riff.

About the Producer

Kaveri was born out of a desire to see real, uncompromising spice restored to the drinks cabinet. Drawing deep inspiration from the vibrant street foods and roadside stalls of South India—most notably the nostalgic bite of inji mittai (traditional hand-pulled ginger hard candy)—the founders set out to craft a spirit that honours authentic culinary heritage rather than artificial flavour drops.

Instead of stripping out character through heavy chill-filtration, Kaveri embraces the cloudy, textured charm of unadulterated fruit and root. Produced independently in small batches in the UK, the focus remains squarely on ethical sourcing, unrefined raw ingredients, and a dedication to genuine flavour that needs no gimmickry.

Production & Botanicals

Botanicals & Raw Ingredients:

The core of Kaveri is built upon high-grade fresh ginger sourced at peak maturity from prime growing regions across Peru, Thailand, and India, selected specifically for a balance of sharp aromatic punch and lingering gingerol warmth. Rather than relying on refined white sugar, sweetness is provided by unrefined jaggery—concentrated sugarcane juice that retains its natural minerals and dark caramel complexity. Fresh lime juice, green mango, and pinches of Himalayan pink salt and mineral-rich Indian black salt (kala namak) round out the sweet, sour, spicy, and savoury balance.

Maceration & Bottling:

The fresh ginger is pressed and cold-macerated with quality neutral grain spirit to lock in the bright, peppery oils of the freshly cut root without cooking out its fresh character. Blended carefully with the jaggery syrup, citrus, and salts, the liquid is deliberately bottled unfiltered at 20.3% ABV. Natural essential oils and micro-sediments remain suspended inside the bottle, meaning a gentle turn or shake before pouring is all that is needed to wake up its full aromatic fire.
