Catch the Gingerbread Man in liquid form in this delightful cocktail. Jim Meehan's molasses-happy drinkable rendition has sugar and spice and a blended rum that's seven-islands' nice.
Note:Banks '7 Golden Age Rum' is available in liquor stores and online. Do not substitute Domaine de Canton for the King's Ginger; they're quite different. Degroff's pimento bitters are also available online.
