Sir Bonnet Ginger Honey

Sir Bonnet Ginger & Honey is a 37.5% ABV rum-based drink built on Caribbean rums and flavoured with ginger and honey. The brand takes its name from Major Stede Bonnet (1688–1718), the "Gentleman Pirate" born in Barbados who abandoned a comfortable life to fit out his own ship and take up piracy. This variant in the range balances the vivid bite of fresh ginger with the softness of natural honey.

What does Sir Bonnet Ginger & Honey taste like?

The nose is inviting: fresh, spicy ginger tones combine with a soft, sweet honey aroma. On the palate, ginger gives a pleasant spice and light heat, while honey balances it with a round, soft sweetness; peppery touches accompany the silky texture. The finish is lightly warming, with the trace of ginger and honeyed sweetness lingering on the palate for a while.

How is it served?

It is smooth enough to drink neat or over ice. The brand also recommends cocktails such as a honey-and-ginger spritz; it can be lengthened with ginger ale or soda for a refreshing long drink. It can also be added to hot tea as a winter drink.

What food does it pair with?

Its ginger and honey character pairs well with spicy dishes, especially sweet-and-sour sauced dishes from Asian or Caribbean cuisine. It also suits fruity, spiced desserts such as apple tart and ginger biscuits.
