Ginger To The Max!

Before the multinationals and banal, so-so industrial liquors took over, the local spirits ruled supreme. Case in point: the “Ratzeputz“. Hailing from provincial Celle this concoction of high-grade alcohol (116 proof) and ginger invented in 1877 will bring tears of joy to the eyes of true ginger enthusiasts - and tears of pain to girly drinkers (who should really stick to their Bailey’s or something). There’s nothing smooth about this old-time thing – drink it if you dare and support the local liquor culture. (Souchak)
