Gingify's Story

Our Story is comprised by the Managing Director. Our original signature Ginger Juice recipes have been handed down from generation to generation.  Gingify’s story hails all the way from the gorgeous island of Jamaica. Jamaica is an island nation in the Caribbean, located to the south of Cuba and to the west of the island of Hispaniola. 

Jamaica, a Caribbean island nation, has a lush topography of mountains, rainforests and reef-lined beaches.  Many of its all-inclusive resorts are clustered in Montego Bay, with its British-colonial architecture, and Negril, known for its diving and snorkeling sites.  Jamaica is famed as the birthplace of reggae music, and its capital Kingston is home to the Bob Marley Museum, dedicated to the famous singer. 

Previously inhabited by the indigenous Arawak and Taíno peoples, the island came under Spanish rule following the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1494.  Many of the indigenous people died of disease, and the Spanish transplanted a few African slaves to Jamaica as labourers.  Jamaicans are the citizens of Jamaica and their descendants in the Jamaican diaspora.  Most Jamaicans are indigenous, with smaller minorities and others or mixed ancestry. 

Family life is central to most Jamaicans, but away from the tourists resorts many Jamaican people live in poverty.  The Rastas, once discriminated against in Jamaican society, typically band together in communities often located outside the town itself.  They are strong believers in the importance of natural surroundings and often live in the hills. 

Popular Jamaican dishes include curry goat, fried dumplings, ackee and saltfish (cod).  The national dish of Jamaica is fried plantain, "jerk", steamed cabbage and "rice and peas" (pigeon peas or kidney beans).  Jamaican cuisine has been adapted by Irish, African, Indian, British, French, Spanish, Chinese influences.  So has Gingify’s menu. 

The most popular drinks in Jamaica are:

1. Beer. Jamaica is synonymous with Red Stripe, the quintessential crisp lager.
2. Ginger Beer.  Like Gingify Juice drinks, the Jamaican made Ginger Beers use cane sugar, not corn syrup, so they have a clean, natural flavor to.
3. Rum. Overproof white rums like Wray & Nephew are often mixed with Ting, a Jamaican grapefruit soda. 
4. Sorrel Tea. Sorrel is the most popular Jamaican holiday drink during the Fall and Winter season and paired with Ginger.  The hibiscus sabdariffa flowers, known as sorrel in Jamaica, are harvested in late November to early December. 
5. Sea Cat Punch. “Sea Cat” is Jamaican slang for octopus and the punch made with the milky white liquid produced by it when boiled.  Add white rum, rum cream, peanuts, molasses and malt powder and you get a salty-sweet shake that tastes wretched but acts as a tonic. 

Yes, Gingify heard the cry of our customers and are creating an adult line of Juices.  That’s right alcoholic.  Not to mention a catering menu as well.  All of these popular Jamaican dishes and drinks mentioned above, will eventually be reflected on Gingify’s menus.  We will always pay homage to where our Original Ginger Juices came from. 

Today, Gingify's the best Mobile Ginger Juice Bar in Los Angeles.  We now offer a custom variety of healthy Ginger based drinks.  Our custom Cold-pressed juices use a hydraulic press to extract the juice from a variety of fruits and vegetables.  This method keeps more vitamins and minerals in your juice.  To get the fresh flavor we're known for, your juice is made fresh after you order.  We refuse to compromise on quality at Gingify.  That's why we source our fresh ingredients from local farmers' markets.  Gingify also offers Wellness Shots, signature Hot Waters, rich Smoothies, healthy Acai Bowls, seasonal Soups and Artisan Toast.
