Pimento is a French soft drink that doesn't shy away from heat. Made with natural ginger sourced from China and Africa, with Jamaican chilli and citrus peel, it's pitched as a serious mixing tool for bartenders and a standalone drink for those who want something with actual kick. The approach is closer to a premium ginger beer than a standard ginger ale — the ginger is upfront and assertive, the chilli adds a heat that builds progressively, and the carbonation is lively. The name references the Jamaican pepper used in production. It's pasteurised and carbonated in Alsace. In a cocktail context it works as a direct replacement for ginger beer, adding spice and complexity without sweetness dominating. As a straight drink over ice, it's a sharp, fizzy alternative to softer ginger ales. Not for anyone who wants ginger flavour without the accompanying heat. A 250ml bottle.
