Rye is one of those spirits that took a back seat for decades. A prohibition favorite, for ages the whiskey was solely designated to old men sitting in smoke-filled bars.

With that, we asked partner/bartender Charles Steadman of Lantana Jack's Bar and Grill to divulge one of his favorite rye recipes: the Ginger in the Rye.
