Kicking and Biting

     Rum and ginger with a hint of orange? Already having a bottle of Marie Brizzard Orange Curacao on hand and an orange forward rum like Pyrat Reserve, it just seemed right.

     The ginger beer I chose was very strong and had a hard crisp bite. Very enjoyable. But this drink reminded of one a created nearly a year ago on the Ministry of Rum forums. I dubbed it the Kicking and Biting. Although the name seems dumb in hindsight the drink was very rich and spicy due to the falernum and intense ginger beer. I do find that if I crave a gingery drink both cocktails work superbly.
