‘The core of Dogfish Head’

The vodka space is so much like beer. In the mid-‘90s, when Dogfish Head got its start, dominated by a few conglomerates, liquid void of character and authenticity, we set out to make a vodka that captured the core of Dogfish Head. So it’s made with 100% brewer’s malt and our proprietary ‘Doggie’ yeast. Everything is scratch-made, like it used to be, as the name suggests, during a simpler time.” – Sam Calagione

Cranberry Ginger Simple Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups water
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 inch of ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions:

Add your water and sugar into a pot over medium heat.
Bring it to a boil. Let it bubble together until the sugar dissolves into the water and it becomes thicker. Stir it occasionally. The whole process will take around ten minutes.
Once it has come to a boil, add in your ginger and your cranberries and reduce the heat.
Allow it to simmer for an additional five minutes over low heat.
Once five minutes have passed, turn off your flame, remove the pot from the heat and stir.
Allow your mixture to cool completely, strain and bottle it up.
You can use a fun bottle or keep it simple and use a mason jar.
