About 75 years ago the British, Irish and Scots decided to warm up their cold, dreary, dark winters by soaking everything they could get their hands on in booze. Lo and behold they discovered that golden raisins soaked in gin went beyond the fun of fermented food and actually provided pain relief – even when eating less than a dozen at a time.
Over the years this home remedy grew in popularity, and everyone began singing its praises and enjoying its relief.
Then, sadly, laboratory-created expensive medicines became the new symbol of healthy living. Many people abandoned the remedies their grandmother’s had used to nurse them back to health in exchange for amber-colored bottles with childproof caps.
The good news today is that the gin-soaked raisin is back and better than ever with DrunkenRaisins! The exclusive recipe has enhanced both the flavor and effective ingredients for pain with a unique honey and imported cinnamon.
Because of the debilitating effects of arthritis in both hands, DrunkenRaisins founder, Larry Wright, found it difficult to button buttons, zip zippers or pick up a plate of food. His doctors suggested medication (with side effects) and surgery (with risks) to relieve his pain. After hearing about anti-inflammatory values of gin-soaked raisins, however, he decided to try a more palatable treatment and started eating the raisins. Within a couple of weeks, he noticed relief from the incapacitating pain and soon returned to living the life he wanted rather than the one he had been held captive in by arthritis.
Because Larry couldn’t find a place to buy gin-soaked raisins, he stretched his personal batches to share with friends as a way of spreading the new-found freedom he’d discovered.
Eventually the requests for more got too big for Larry to meet without a bigger plan so he went to Toby to develop a logo and Molly to have it federally registered. He then got a domain name and website on his own and worked on it with a youthful team of knowledge-based pros were enthused about the product and its future.
To create his unique blend, Larry experimented and finally selected a specific type of honey and imported cinnamon to enhance the anti-inflammatory value and significantly improve the flavor so everyone could enjoy them. As a result, DrunkenRaisins have spilled out of the therapeutic category and into the epicurean category as well. They’re a delicious after-dinner treat that go great with wine, port and other after-dinner drinks!
Our team is working hard to make DrunkenRaisins a healthy alternative to pain as well as a sweet treat to sprinkle on your morning bowl of oatmeal. We look forward to hearing how you benefit from them and how you use them to reward your palette!
As a result of over 75 years of experience the gin-soaked raisin has survived the ‘test of time’. With constant reminders about the common cause of so many health maladies due to inflammation, the DrunkenRaisin evolved as a healthy choice for many for relief from inflammation pain. With testimony showing over 75% approval rate we, of course, strongly recommend that you enjoy both the flavor and benefits of good eating and start your day with 8-9 DrunkenRaisins (gin-soaked + enhanced with honey and cinnamon).
Since food is the cause of our greatest health downfall, properly adjusted, it can become our greatest source of a more healthy life. It took years of unhealthy eating to get where we are so we recommend that you double up on your consumption of DrunkenRaisins during the first couple weeks and then revert to healthy maintenance of 8 or 9 DrunkenRaisins each day thereafter. Hopefully, you will be one of the many who enjoy the pain relief as expressed by the many testimonies in the link above.

“As a chiropractor, I spend a lot of time investigating natural or alternative methods of relieving pain and reducing inflammation. Many of my patients are tired of the high cost and negative side effects associated with prescription medications, and I always like being able to give them an inexpensive alternative that has minimal or no side effects.
While there is still a lack of high-quality empirical research on gin-soaked raisins, there is a great deal of testimonial evidence showing that golden raisins, juniper berries, cinnamon and honey all demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory activity. Arthritis sufferers the world over have sung the praises of gin-soaked raisins for many years, and the benefit derived from them is enhanced with the addition of cinnamon and honey. It also turns them into a tasty snack that makes it much easier to remember your daily dose of arthritis remedy.
Whether it’s due to the sulfur in the golden raisins, the juniper berry used in gin, the anti-inflammatory properties of the ingredients or even the placebo effect, the effectiveness of gin-soaked raisins with added cinnamon and honey cannot be questioned. I urge all of my patients who suffer from arthritis, both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, to give this delicious alternative a try.”
