We love ginger - it adds complexity to any drink: warming and a little sweet with a good bite. Lucky for us, our friends atChimes Gourmet sent us some of their delicious ginger chews to try out in a variety of tasty flavors. We particularly enjoyed the Cayenne Lemon, described as: Cayenne Lemon goes to 11! Other ginger chews can't get over over the cliff, but cayenne is your jam! When you need a kick, that little extra spice from Cayenne in our ginger chew candy is the answer."

All in all, we landed pretty close to a classic Mai Tai recipe but we did have quite a bit of fun in the experimentation process for some crazier concoctions along the way. The recipe below is what we felt best replicated the flavor profile of a classic Cuba Libre, albeit in a short glass. It sips a bit like an old fashioned, but with all the vanilla-y goodness of a Rum & Coke with lime on the beach.
Saint Patrick's Day is one of our favorite holidays - we love any excuse to share drinks with friends! This year we're skipping the green beer and opting for a tasty cocktail made with our preferred Irish spirit (whiskey of course). This PERFECT Irish Coffee is better than a pot of gold. Sláinte!
