George’s Guide to Ginger

The tantalising taste of Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer would not be complete without the vital ingredient of ginger dear fans!

Here George tells us all what we need to know about this tasty specimen.

Ginger is often mistaken for being a herb but one can actually confirm, that it is indeed a spice, derived from the French name, gingembre.

Back before one was even a glint in my mother’s eye, ginger was grown in the wild. But now, it is all done indoors chaps so that one can keep a proper eye on it.

The plant itself can grow up to four foot high if enough love is given to it! The best season for growth is spring. 

It has a wide variety of uses but one can say on everyone’s behalf that it tastes best bottled up in our favourite Crabbie’s ginger tipple.

So here, here dear fans, do raise a glass of Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer and say Chin Chin to the ginger!

Got to dash – Camilla’s calling me to check on the Crabbie’s ginger plant.

Crabbie’s Pine Punch

Whether one will be celebrating the joining of Kate and William’s hands in marriage tomorrow or not, do spice up your bank holiday weekend with a rather delightful glass of Crabbie’s Pine punch!

Take a 500ml bottle of one’s favourite ginger tipple and mix with 200ml of fresh, chilled pineapple juice. Build over cubed ice and serve in a large pitcher, garnished with pineapple chunks and its leaves.

It’s tickety boo tasty and spiffingly refreshing!

George, do fetch the pineapple dear and tally up the drinks to toast the happy couple!
