It’s a fitting moniker for a cocktail with a spicy kick, but the Kicker Rock is actually named for a dramatic volcanic formation located in the Galápagos Islands. I got wise to the drink and its namesake on a cruise with Ecoventura, whose bespoke cocktail list features this rhum agricole–based libation. Viewed from the north, Kicker Rock resembles a boot. From the south, however, it looks like its other moniker, Sleeping Lion.

While plain honey can be mixed into drinks, its viscous texture firms up when chilled (such as in a cocktail tin with ice), making it more difficult to blend with other cold liquid ingredients.
