Introducing GIMBER, we are the fresh "kick" in town, an up-and-coming company propelling its zesty presence in the zero-proof market. Disenchanted with mundane, wine-soaked gatherings, Dimitri conceived the idea of GIMBER in November 2017, right in his own kitchen. After relentless months of searching for the perfect blend that would tantalize his taste buds without leaving him dizzy, GIMBER was born.
With an extravagant infusion of premium ginger, water, and positive vibes, GIMBER emerged as the embodiment of bold flavour. It stands ready to enrich your days and nights with an invigorating punch that never disappoints. We firmly believe in the philosophy that individuals are defined by their choices of beverage and their contributions to the market. In essence, we aim to captivate the world with an unadulterated, natural, and organic ginger beverage.
