You might think this an odd pairing, but it’s curiously democratic. The cayenne gives it a kick, but not too much, while the ginger mellows it just enough to use in everything from Bloody Marys to Derbys to your morning green juice. Subtle notes of citrus make it an excellent addition to straight whiskey, too. As for food, keep it savory: add it to a curry to bring out the heat without going overboard.
