Master mixologist Kenneth Ward named this week’s Happy Hour cocktail Heroes and Villains, in honor of the Beach Boys song that happened to hit the radio as he was creating it. We’re showcasing this drink because we want you to see how easy it is to make a solid, quality cocktail. Check out the video below and let Ken show you how its done. Then, start mixing.

Heroes and Villains
Recipe by Kenneth McCoy, Rum House and Ward III

What you’ll need:
2 oz rum (We like Brugal Extra Dry)
1 oz Aperol (if you cannot find Aperol, Campari is a good substitute)
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Agave nectar
cucumber slices
ginger beer

How to make it:
Drop a few cucumber slices in a mixing glass; add the agave and muddle. Add ice and the rest of the ingredients except the ginger beer. Shake vigorously. Pour into a tall glass and top it off with ginger beer. Garnish with a cucumber slice.
