Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4.5

Spiced rum, ginger beer, lime, and ice are all stocked at every major Charlotte chain—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger all carry them without special ordering. At roughly $1.50 per serving once you amortize a bottle of decent spiced rum and a six-pack of ginger beer, this is genuinely cheap for a cocktail. The stated one minute is honest; there is no prep beyond pouring and stirring. The only minor drawback is that this is a same-night drink—it doesn't reheat or hold—so it's not practical for meal planning if you're thinking ahead.
