Bevande Futuriste's Cortese Organic Ginger Beer is a high-quality Italian reinterpretation of the traditional Anglo-Saxon drink born in England in 1700 during the colonial period of trade with the East and the sugar-producing Caribbean islands.

This historic beverage, which has remained popular throughout the centuries, is now finding new life thanks to the Italian production excellence of Bevande Futuriste. Cortese Organic Ginger Beer represents the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, offering a full, harmonious, and certified organic flavor, designed to satisfy even the most discerning palates.

The history of the original Ginger Beer is fascinating: initially produced in sturdy earthenware containers sealed with the famous "Bristol Glaze" (a special enamel invented in England), this drink quickly became popular throughout the United Kingdom. By 1935, there were over 3,000 Ginger Beer producers in England alone, a testament to the enormous success of this unique soft drink.

Although the British Excise Regulations of 1855 mandated that ginger beer contain no more than 2% alcohol, in most cases it contained much less, making it a popular drink for everyone, including children. Cortese Organic Ginger Beer is completely alcohol-free, yet retains all the aromatic intensity and spicy character that have made this drink famous worldwide.

The flavor profile of Cortese Organic Ginger Beer is pleasantly spicy and enveloping. Organic ginger juice, the key ingredient in the recipe, lends the spicy, refreshing, and slightly pungent note that characterizes authentic ginger beer. Ginger (Zingiber officinale), used for millennia in Eastern medicine, is known for its extraordinary properties: it aids digestion, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, helps combat nausea and stomach pain, stimulates circulation, and supports the immune system.

The natural flavors of chili pepper and pepper add complexity and a touch of spicy liveliness that makes this drink unmistakable. Chili pepper, rich in capsaicin, has antibacterial and vasodilatory properties, while pepper adds warm, deep aromatic notes. Lemon juice from organic concentrate complements the aromatic bouquet with its citrus freshness, perfectly balancing the spiciness of the spices and creating an exceptional flavor harmony.

The natural sweetness of organic cane sugar softens the spicy notes without overpowering them, allowing each ingredient to express its own identity in a perfectly balanced ensemble.

Cortese Organic Ginger Beer is the ideal ingredient for making classic cocktails like the celebrated Moscow Mule (with vodka and lime), created in 1941 in New York by combining ginger beer and vodka. It's also perfect for the Dark and Stormy (with dark Bermuda rum), the London Mule (with gin), the El Diablo (with tequila), and all the creative variations of "Mule cocktails" that bartenders around the world continue to reinvent.

In addition to its use in professional mixology, this organic ginger beer can be enjoyed neat, chilled from the fridge, or on the rocks, perhaps garnished with fresh lime slices and mint leaves for a refreshing and thirst-quenching experience. It's the perfect drink for those seeking a sophisticated alternative to traditional carbonated drinks, combining intense flavor, naturalness, and beneficial properties.

Cortese Organic Ginger Beer is completely free of artificial colors, chemical preservatives, and genetically modified organisms. It's naturally gluten-free and the ideal choice for those following a conscious diet and seeking high-quality, certified organic products.

The Cortese brand draws inspiration from Isabella Cortese, a noble Venetian alchemist who, in 1561, published the first book on alchemy written by a woman. Just as the alchemists of the past were the mixologists of their time, today Bevande Futuriste pays homage to this tradition by creating soft drinks that embody the true art of mixology, where passion, experience, and research blend to offer the best to those seeking quality and beauty in every sip.
