    ❷ Rye Tai

    A riff on the classic Mai Tai where rye whiskey replaces rum, and pineapple replaces curaçao. Picked by co-founder Adam who says, “Swapping the rum for rye whiskey adds a little spice and warmth to a classic tropical drink which, for me, makes for a nice transition from the colder months to the warmer months.”

    ❸ Cantarito

    From Jalisco, Mexico, this drink is the perfect amount of salty, sweet, and sour. Chris says, “Shades of a Paloma but expect something more juicy and citrusy. This is a super refreshing springtime cocktail! Don’t skimp on the salt!”

    Hey Mark! A ginger Mojito sounds delicious. As for NA rums, you could also try Ritual or Lyre’s. Cheers!

    And of course, for a NA version, there’s a NA rum called ArKay out there (only one I know so far)

    For Ms. Blackburn – try using some ginger syrup for a Mojito variation – we use a little extra mint too
