Ginger! The intersection of ginger and booze is a happy one, I think. Great in a dark and stormy, light on sugar.

I was inspired by a cocktail mentor back in MD, whose focus was all about large amounts of fresh citrus in drinks. I went all in on his philosophy, and this was particularly great in LA, where everyone has citrus trees in their backyard.

Not the case in CO, but I still stick to citrus. Go-to is the Dark & Stormy . Minimum 1/2 lime per drink.
