Root Awakening
Zesty. spiced. grounded.
Root Awakening is Accent Cellars’ first canned product and a natural extension of how we already think about beverages. It’s 100% natural, gluten free, and built for people who care less about trends and more about taste. It drinks beautifully on its own, but it also makes a formidable Dark and Stormy when the mood calls for it. Drink it straight. Mix it well. Either way,
Root Responsibly
Root Awakening began as a homecoming — a return to our roots that sparked a new way of seeing ginger, fermentation, and balance.
Root Awakening exists because sometimes you have to go home to see things clearly. On a return trip to Australia for a family wedding, we were reminded just how deeply hard ginger is woven into everyday life back home. It’s the drink that shows up to every gathering — reliable, refreshing, and everywhere. But it also reminded us of something else: most versions leaned heavily toward sweetness, with very little balance or depth. And as winemakers, imbalance is hard to ignore.
So instead of recreating what already existed, we treated ginger the way we treat grapes — with respect for fermentation, structure, and restraint. Root Awakening begins with real ginger, fermented with added sugar and adjusted thoughtfully using tartaric, malic, and citric acids to achieve the same harmony you’d expect in a well‑made wine. Wine nutrients support a clean, healthy ferment. The finished product is force‑carbonated for lift, left unfiltered for flavor, and canned at roughly 8% ABV to give it presence without heaviness.
What emerges is earthy, zesty, gently sweet, and layered with a natural ginger spice that doesn’t shout — it lingers.
Root Awakening drinks like nothing else on the shelf. It opens with fresh ginger heat, balanced by citrusy lift and a gentle sweetness that never overwhelms. The unfiltered body gives it texture and authenticity, while the carbonation adds a refreshing snap.
Serve it chilled, over ice, or as the backbone of a cocktail — its structure and acidity make it endlessly versatile. Whether you’re sipping it on a porch, pairing it with food, or mixing it behind a bar, Root Awakening brings a bright, earthy energy that’s both familiar and entirely new.
Root Awakening is hard ginger made like wine - not flavored spiked soda. It’s balanced, fermented, 8% ABV, and already proven with a cult following that sold out before marketing even started on the first version.
