Riddles Smooth Essence
Riddles Smooth Ginger Essence is a traditional-style ginger extract used to make mellow, easy-drinking ginger wine or cordial at home.
This 125ml bottle is enough to produce around 3 litres of ginger wine when mixed with sugar and water.
The flavour is warm and gingery, but without the fiery heat of the Flaming Hot version.
Ideal for those who want classic ginger flavour without too much spice, or for mixing with other flavourings.
Product Features
- Volume: 125 ml
- Usage: Makes approx. 3L of ginger wine or cordial
- Flavour: Soft ginger warmth, rounded and smooth
- Application: Wine, cordial, beer flavouring, cocktails, cooking
- Preservative: Potassium sorbate
How to Use
For ginger wine or cordial:
- Dissolve 1?kg sugar in ~2.3?L of boiling water.

To use in spirits or beer, add gradually after fermentation to dial in preferred intensity.
What’s the Difference?
Smooth is the gentler version of the Riddles ginger extract range.
While it still delivers solid ginger flavour, the heat is far more restrained than the Flaming Hot version.
Best choice for lighter drinks, lower ABV wines, or anyone sensitive to spice.
Brewer’s Tip
For a refreshing ginger ale or summer cordial, use this essence with lemon or citrus additions.
Add carbonation for a simple homemade soft drink or base for mixed drinks.
For wine fermentation, consider adding this post-primary to retain a clean, fresh ginger aroma.
