For Jane Danger’s Dressed Can, she plays off the beer can cocktail, opting for cider and plenty of garnish. “In a can, you don’t really get a lot of nose,” says Danger, of the decision to decorate her drink with a mint bouquet. In addition to Jamaican rum, cinnamon syrup and lime, Danger’s can gets liberal dose of absinthe dashed over top.
