Spicy Dark and Stormy

Our Hot + Spicy Infused Maple Syrup has a smoky chili pepper kick to it which makes for a very lively cocktail.  The apricot jam gives it a calming base of sweetness which is promptly brought to attention by the spicy maple and piquant ginger beer. The rum provides a bridge for all of the flavors to meet in the middle.   If you want to tread lightly into this good concoction, start with just a teaspoon of Merquén and taste, then add more to your liking.
