How you can properly store sliced ginger in alcohol
When preserving ginger in alcohol, it's important not to simply toss the entire root into a jar and leave it at that. Instead, use a peeler or the edge of a spoon to carefully remove the rough outer skin of the ginger. This step helps eliminate any dry or damaged spots. Depending on the size of your storage container and the ginger root, you can either keep it whole or cut it into chunks or slices. We recommend slicing the ginger, as it makes it easier to grab what you need for cooking without having to remove the entire root and chop off pieces.
Once your ginger is in the container, completely submerge it in your chosen alcohol and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to use the ginger, simply take out the amount you need and keep the rest stored. Don't worry about it tasting like alcohol; any alcohol flavor will evaporate when heated. However, if you use the ginger without cooking it, a subtle hint of alcohol may linger.
On the topic of alcohol, the flavor that ginger root adds is truly unique and cannot be mimicked with artificial flavors. Its warming spice is unmistakable and adds an exciting kick to a variety of cocktails, depending on the type of alcohol used.
