Ginger² - Your favourite Crabbies Original alcoholic Ginger Beer with a 1 oz. shot of Skyy's Ginger Vodka, served in a 20 oz. glass over ice - $20 (CAD)
***
Hmm... I think CJ may have accidentally deleted a post on the spicy octopus salad...
So, my sous chefs of note may recall that CJ had done a review of Crabbies a little while ago, and when he had breakfast a few months ago with his ex-coworker at High Level Diner, the Ginger² was discovered.
CJ knows how Christopher Columbus must have felt when he discovered the Americas... "Damn! I need a good drink!!"
The presentation of the drink is fine: a shooter glass of vodka, the green-bottled Crabbies and a class filled with ice and a slice of lime and a slice of lemon. All very nice, yes?
The taste? Well, pretty ginger-y, if that's a word. I suppose the first half glass you could sense the vodka, but after it's been watered down a bit and you pour the rest of the beer in, it's basically just Crabbies.
The cost? A little on the high side. Mind you, Crabbies is expensive all by itself anyways, and adding the shooter was only an additional $2.50 (CAD) anyway, so you aren't going to have to sell your first-born just to get the vodka added.
The proof:
The grade: just because Ginger Spice was CJ's favourite Spice Girl doesn't mean he would give her (or this drink) a perfect score: a 7.9 out of 10.0.
