I first tasted PacifiKool Hawaiian Ginger Syrup at a farmers' market on Oahu; one of the vendors added a drizzle of it to seltzer to make a sort of impromptu ginger ale. Zing! One sip snapped me to attention. Soon I was using it all the time. Now I put a splash of the syrup into my stir-fries, I add it to my marinades, and I spike my cocktails with it. No matter what I'm making, it always reminds me of Hawaii. —Robin Kanno, San Ramon, California
