High Quality, Fresh Ingredients
高品質新鮮真材實料
As Flavorsmiths, we don’t cut corners, and we know that a good Mule, has fresh Lime and lots of Ginger, so that exactly what we did and what you get in the bottle. No artificial flavoring or industrial concentrate.
身為風味匠人，我們從不偷工減料，並且深知一杯出色的老薑騾子需要新鮮的檸檬與大量的老薑；於是我們將真材實料放進瓶中讓你打開瓶蓋就能享用最新鮮的口感，絕無添加人工調味料或濃縮物。
Before each batch, we hit the market and select the freshest lime and the spiciest ginger. Then we carefully process our ingredients, the Ginger is made into a low sugar mighty spicy syrup and the limes are juiced at the last second so as to maximize freshness and prevent oxidation.
在製作每一批RTD調酒之前，我們會親自前往市場挑選新鮮多汁的檸檬與最辛辣的老薑。接著我們會仔細地處理這些原料，將老薑製成低糖、極具辣味的糖漿；而檸檬為了防止氧化並保持最佳新鮮度，會在最後一刻才榨汁。
Flavor Balance - 均衡風味
We designed our Ginger mule to be not too sweet, quite sour with a spicy Ginger kick. This flavor balance makes it a very refreshing and sessionable cocktail, that goes well with food.
我們精心調配的老薑騾子不會太甜、帶點偏酸的口感，並且有薑味十足的刺激辛辣。將這些味道調出完美平衡、易於飲用且非常清爽的一款調酒，也很適合搭配下酒菜唷！

FAQ - 常見問題
What are the sediments? 沉澱物是什麼？
Our Ginger Mule is made with real Ginger which naturally has insoluble starches, we decided not to remove these starches are they are a lot of flavors, just give the bottle a gentle shake before opening it.
老薑騾子（Ginger Mule）是使用真材實料的老薑製作而成，天然的老薑裡含有不溶性澱粉。我們決定不去除這些澱粉，因為它們含有許多風味，只需要在打開瓶子之前輕輕左右搖晃兩下即可。
What is the cocktail shelf life? 即飲調酒的保存期限是多久？
Our cocktails are produced in small batch so as to avoid sitting stocks but are perfectly shelf stable with a best by date of 6 months.
我們的即飲調酒以小批量手工生產，是為了避免庫存過多，並保持品質穩定的保存期限，最佳飲用期建議為六個月內。
How do you keep them stable? 如何保持產品的穩定性？
To ensure a reasonable shelf life for our RTDs, we combined a very strict sanitary protocol with the lowest amount of stabilizers possible. A small blend of acids (Citric, Malic & ascorbic) to prevent oxidation and a hint (< 40 ppm) of sodium metabisulfites at bottling to ensure that no fermentation occurs.
為了確保我們的即飲調酒在商品上架時有足夠的保存期限，我們依據「食品添加物使用範圍及限量暨規格標準」添加極少量的穩定劑；在裝瓶時，使用了適量的食品添加劑（檸檬酸、蘋果酸和抗壞血酸）以防止氧化；並在裝瓶後添加了微量（小於40 ppm）的偏亞硫酸氫鈉，可阻止酵素性褐變作用，以確保不會發生發酵反應。
