Hank's Caribbean Recipe Ginger Beer
Hank's Gourmet Beverages · Caribbean-style craft ginger beer
Southampton, Pennsylvania, USA
Hank's leans into heat here, billing this as their spiciest release and built on a custom blend of international gingers rather than a single source. The cane-sugar base keeps the sweetness in check so the gingerol bite lands clean and lingers through a warming finish, while the carbonation is dialed for a crisp pop that holds up straight or stirred into a Mule. It reads as a genuine craft ginger beer with real chemesthetic warmth, not the timid ginger-ale-adjacent style, and the amber long-neck glass reinforces the mixer-forward intent.

The maker
Hank's Gourmet Beverages is a family-run craft soda company headquartered in Southampton, Pennsylvania, with roots in a Philadelphia beverage distributorship that Frank "Hank" Salvatore started in 1958. The brand built its reputation on a century-old root beer recipe revived in the mid-1990s and has since expanded into a full line of cane-sugar sodas sold across more than 40 states. Its Caribbean Recipe Ginger Beer, introduced in 2019, leans on a blend of international gingers and natural flavorings sweetened with 100% cane sugar.
