Cure for What Ails You

Cure for What Ails You is a spicy, sunny mead highball from Sam Slaughter at Chilled magazine. While most mead cocktails do best with a drier mead, this one doesn’t care if yours is syrupy-sweet; the warm bite of ginger beer and the tartness of the lemon juice keep the sweetness in check.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake the mead and lemon juice with ice, and strain into an ice-filled short glass. Top with the ginger beer. Express a lemon peel over the drink, rub it around the rim of the glass, and drop it in as a garnish.

Game Changer

This is a game changer. When you're at the liquor store, thinking, "Yeah, ok fine what does Ancho Reyes liquor get me?" you open the app, look up Chile liquor and see that it gets you like 11 new cocktails. This is addictive, and indeed worth the price. We're having a blast under quarantine. While some of the ingredients are kind of anonymous, the icons look like the Campari bottle, and the descriptions often tell you if Campari will work or if you need Aperol. If you <3 cocktails, get this.
