We’ve been on a real ginger kick since 1987. ​ We embrace the whole ginger experience – the spice, the heat, the flavor and the health properties. The starting point, the whole reason for Reed’s existence, was a mission to find the best way to consume high amounts of ginger on a daily basis. ​ Ginger is just one of those rare things in nature, and in life, that is both good for you and makes you feel good. ​ But how to get as much as possible without getting blown away by the pungent spice?

We decided to go back to go forward. ​ We discovered that Ginger Beer, before the days of commercial soda making, was actually made at home with tons of ginger. ​ ​ We then searched for the right recipes and found that the Jamaican tradition, still alive and well today, held the secret to making fresh ginger more palatable, even downright delicious. ​ This led to our own experimentation and ultimately to a simple recipe using all-natural ingredients you might have in your own fridge: fresh ginger root, sparkling water, pineapple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, honey, cane sugar, spices

We’ve been brewing those ingredients for thirty years and the result is thrilling to experience. ​ First you get a whiff of sandalwood from the ginger skin that lets you know this is real ginger. ​ ​ Second, you take a sip and experience the invigorating bite followed by an elegant, smooth finish – that’s the Jamaican trick. ​ But that’s not all. ​ After a few seconds, the warming effect of ginger spreads from the back of the throat to your chest, and you get that general sense of wellbeing. ​ Now that’s good living.
