Tropical Honey Punch

"With this punch I wanted to re-create classic tiki flavors," says bartender Erick Castro. "They highlight the botanicals in the gin and the playful funkiness you can only get from Jamaican rum." The drink's uncommon garnish—a pinch of cinnamon—accents the rum.

Mojito Jell-O Shots with White Rum and Fresh Mint
