The Medium That Started It
Pickett Brothers Beverage — brothers Matt, Jim, and Bob Pickett, Cleveland-born with a combined 50+ years in food and beverage — built its name on all-natural ginger beer syrups, and No. 1 is the original medium-spice expression. The brand positions it as the only all-natural ginger beer concentrate of its kind, and customer reviews on the brand site single out its Moscow Mules ("Best Moscow Mules hands down!") and Dark & Stormys.

Tasting Notes
Medium, earthy ginger spice — present and warming but mixed-company friendly. Clean and dry rather than syrupy-sweet, it mixes well with bolder spirits and balances fruit, honey, or maple infusions.
How to Enjoy
Stir into chilled soda water for classic ginger beer, or build Moscow Mules and Dark & Stormys — the brand-site reviewers' favorites. For more fire, step up to Pickett's No. 3 Hot & Spicy.
