Just ¼ tsp of ginger extract gives a noticeable kick—adjust to ⅛–½ tsp based on your ginger preference.
Can I use fresh ginger instead?
You could steep a small slice in the espresso, but ginger extract ensures consistent, smooth flavor.

Can I rim the glass?
Absolutely—try a cinnamon‑sugar or finely crushed ginger snap rim for themed garnish.
