If you like the flavors of a Dark and Stormy, Moscow Mule, or Mojito, you'll love the Mojalisco.

This cocktail features Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer (yup, that's right, ginger beer with booze already in it) plus mint, tequila, and lime juice. The addition of Velvet Falernum emphasizes the ginger and lime, adding sweetness and a rich almond flavor. But the key to this drink is bittersweet Cynar, an amaro (flavored with artichoke, among other things) that adds a mysterious herbal presence that lurks among the refreshing flavors.
