Product Details
Gluten free. Moscow mule in a bottle. History of Islander: Ginger has been popular in Asia since ancient times. But it was not until the late 1500s during the Age of Discovery, that the numerous trading companies traversing the globe made spices readily available and its use in beverages could become common place. Ginger was introduced to the Caribbean in the 16th century and the region quickly became a leading exporter of ginger root. The Islands prolific yield of ginger added to citrus juice, local spices, cane sugar and yeast transformed ginger beer to a uniquely Caribbean beverage. Over the next 200 years, fermented ginger beer became one of the most popular drinks throughout the islands. Migrating north, it was produced by over 1500 ginger beer breweries in the US and Canada as well as more than 4000 in the UK at the peak of its demand. It evolved into a soft drink with its history as a fermented beverage largely forgotten in North America but with Harriott's Islander Ginger Beer, its owner has put the beer back in the beverage, reinstating its true meaning. Harriott's Islander Ginger Beer offers a Caribbean adult beverage with deep roots in the region. It is hoped that the once popular fermented formula may one day reclaim its mantle as one of the most widely consumed thirst quenching beverages. From our family to yours, hope you enjoy! Turks & Caicos born. British West Indies Trading Company: The British West Indies Trading Company has its origins as a family enterprise which invested in Overseas ventures. These early investors or adventurers formed the first stock exchanges and insurance companies to mitigate the shipping risks of overseas global trade. They were also the earliest explorers. As an extension of the Silk Road, a complex network of trade routes connecting Asia with Europe, over the centuries they made exotic and expensive items more accessible, affordable, and therefore available to all. The family legacy continued with Thomas Harriott, who in the 16th century, explored the New World on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I. Charged with numerous responsibilities, his survey work resulted in some of the most accurate maps Europe had ever seen which are now held in the British Museum. As the chronicler of the expedition, his writings of the Algonquins, the indigenous population of the mid-Atlantic region, now reside in the Smithsonian Museum from which all can learn. Subsequent generations went on to settle the Caribbean, establishing numerous enterprises in the British West Indies (today known as United Fruit Company and Morton's Salt). The family business continues, offering a variety of refreshing tropical beverages made with the highest quality, natural ingredients. All are based on recipes rich in history and tradition.
