Bootblack Ginger Cardamom Lime Syrup 16oz

The ginger really comes through without being too sharp, and the cardamom adds a nice warmth that worked well in a simple club soda. My only small wish is that the lime flavor were a bit more prominent.

The ginger-lime balance is spot-on for a Moscow mule, though the cardamom stays subtle rather than bold. A full ounce in sparkling water gives a nice kick without being overly sweet, and the 16 oz bottle lasted me through a solid two weeks of weekend drinks.

The cardamom definitely comes through more than I expected, which makes it feel a bit more complex than a standard ginger syrup. It mixed nicely with soda water for a quick mocktail, though the flavor might be too strong for some lighter cocktails.
