Winter discontent has reached its annual apex. Rotten weather has dogged us for months, vitamin D deficiencies abound and temperaments range from surly to surlier. We’re in a bad way, with spring too remote on the horizon to lend real hope.

In such bleak times, some folks take to the bottle for relief, while snowbirds escape to sunny coordinates. Prefer to combine coping mechanisms? We’ve got you covered, with a neo-Tiki cock- tail created for us by the Bar at AS220. You’re welcome.

Called the Stepmother of Dragons, its foundation is a house-infused vodka that features fresh pineapple, ginger and sriracha. To that, ginger beer and pineapple juice are added for brightness and balance.

The Bar at AS220 has made their own liquor infusions for years, and rarely use the same recipe twice. The infusion at the heart of this cocktail rates as an exception, having proved so popular that it earned a regular spot on the bar back. To DIY, start with a neutral, high-proof liquor and tinker with flavor ratios.

• 2 parts AS220’s Prairie Organic vodka infused with pineapple, sriracha, and ginger
• 1 part ginger beer
• 1 part pineapple juice Combine ingredients in a tumbler, shake, pour over ice in lowball glass. Garnish with ginger powder and a lime wheel.
