PRODUCT: Yazi Ginger Vodka
Vodka for ginger lovers. |
Hmm. Your Valentine doesn’t like sweets. But she does love a great cocktail or a shot of something special.
How about the “vodka of love”: ginger-flavored Yazi Ginger Vodka? In Asia, ginger has long been considered an aphrodisiac, believed to have mystical powers that bring harmony to life and love. Using glacier-fed spring water from Mt. Hood, Oregon’s highest peak, Hood River Distillers has infused vodka (grain spirits) with natural ginger, orange, lemon, cayenne and red pepper extracts for a complex, well-balanced flavored spirit. There’s a ginger forefront and a citrus-spiciness in the background. The bottle is stunning: A spiraling dragon is etched on imported French glass, with a scarlet banner and cap (“yazi” refers to the Chinese dragon). Available nationwide, Yazi says “Be My Valentine” to all lovers of ginger. The suggested retail price is $30.00. |
