Mix a Gin Canary
The Canaries love to get together and share stories over a cocktail or three. Their favorite elixir is whiskey, but on special occasions, they adore this spicy, sweet concoction that takes after the band that invented it.
2 ounces or so of gin
1 ounce, give or take, fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 ounce pureed ginger or just put a whole root in there
Top off with club soda (or Ginger Beer for an extra kick)
Shake or stir, serve over ice.
Garnish with a cherry and a lime slice
Repeat until the pain is gone!
