Ginger, and I Don’t Mean Redheads

Inflammation isn’t sexy, so thank heavens ginger is tasty! A powerful anti-inflammatory, ginger brings a vibrant and refreshing flavor to drinks. Additionally, it’s great for reducing nausea and lowering blood sugar, both of which are perfect weapons to have in your arsenal when consuming booze.

You can play down its flavor by pairing it with sweet mixers and spirits, or play it up with spicier and tangier ones. I’m prone to the latter, though, of course, both are included here so that everyone can enjoy this root’s offerings.
