For our fourth installment in this new line of
efficacious drinks based on Chinese
herbology, we present the Jen Shen. For
this potent cocktail housemade Ginseng-ice
is muddled with ginger-infused vodka,
lemon, lime and honey.
We have been experimenting with Ginseng in
cocktails and infusions for years, but our new
method of creating ginseng-ice extracts more
of this powerful roots essence and active
ingredients without the unpleasant earthy
flavor.
Ginseng root is reputed to lower blood sugar
and cholesterol levels, protect against stress,
enhance strength and promote relaxation.
Koreans feed ginseng to race horses to
enhance their performance on the track.

The origin of the word ginseng is Chinese: "Jen
Shen" means "The power of earth in human
shape". Ginseng has been the source of a number
ancient legends. Today, the stimulating effect of
ginseng is still believed to restore inner strength. In
China the plant is still known as the "man root", in
Korea as the "root of life" or "human root", and in
Japan it is held in such high regard that it is called
"wonder of the universe". The active substances
enter the blood stream and are distributed
throughout the body and are thus able to exert a
beneficial action on the whole organism.
We introduced Eternal Youth with potent Goji
berries, and Shaman's Gift with Hawaiian Kava
Kava, and Royal Fire with stimulating Schizandra,
as part of this new series of efficacious drinks
based on chinese herbology. Click on the drink
