Autumn colors and flavors really come to light in October. Leaves are changing...days are getting shorter, and nights are getting colder. What would normally be a summer or warm-weather beverage gets a chilly weather facelift with a spicy glass rim. 


Firecracker Dust, equal parts spicy and tropical in flavor profile, has so many uses. Delicious on dry-rubbed ribs or wings, or just over popcorn; this dynamic spice blend is amazing as a cocktail or mocktail glass rim. To celebrate the season, we recently curated a fall feast. The Tropical Fire Cocktail was our starter and the star of the show! 


If you are hosting a holiday event or just want an evening elixir, this recipe hits all the marks. Tropical fruit juice and spicy ginger beer marry to make a harmonious blend. The Firecracker Dust puts this one over the top! With each sip you get a little spicy chili flavor and a mouthful of juicy tropical fruit. Perfection! 

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz can Ginger beer

  • 24 oz Pineapple juice
