This spring, SKYY Infusions is set to unveil their newest all-natural flavor, ginger. The brand new flavor is said to taste of spiced and juiced ginger, roasted oranges and mild notes of cinnamon, similar to ginger ale with a more complex aroma. Yum! To introduce this fresh flavor (to a tasty all-natural arsenal that includes flavors such as citrus, pineapple, passion fruit, cherry, grape and raspberry), here are a few simple cocktail recipes using all-natural SKYY Infusions Ginger.
