Jon Karel
Buffalo Proper
Buffalo, N.Y.
Buffalo Proper owner Jon Karel gives the Brazilian caipirinha a spicy twist with flavors of ginger and jalapeno from a housemade cordial. The tannin from the grapes balances the sweetness of the cordial without raising the acidity of the cocktail. Karel named the drink after Ginger Baker, the legendary drummer of rock band Cream.

Ice cubes
