Not too long ago, the oldsters at Mutiny Island despatched us Roots, a ginger and turmeric infused vodka. They supply its ginger and turmeric from native St. Croix farms at any time when attainable. The infusion course of takes 3 to 4 days, throughout which the processed ginger and turmeric steep in giant tea bag-like pouches to impart most taste into the unique vodka base.

The character and texture from the flagship is unbroken, however it comes with a punch of recent ginger juice with the turmeric within the background. The flavour of the underlying vodka has not been worn out, and though the preliminary rush of it feels heavy, the flavors calm precisely when they’re purported to.
