Hotel bar trends: Specialty ice, artisanal liquors
Farm-to-table cocktails: If you're the kind of person who'd rather celebrate all things local, then check out a Four Seasons hotel bar in the Americas in April. That's when the chain will repeat last year's "100 mile" cocktail program, which was a hit with customers, Rigby says. The program featured drinks made only with ingredients that came from within 100 miles of each hotel, whether locally made gin or vodka.

Is Ginger Made of Magic?
"Ginger can help settle your stomach when you’re feeling pukey; it has anti-inflammatory properties (research has shown that it brings down pain levels in people suffering from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis); and studies have indicated it may provide relief from migraines. And, amazingly, preliminary research has shown that ginger may even help slow the growth of cancerous tumors.
The recipes below are from world-famous restaurants that specifically use Wakaya Perfection, a hand-cultivated, organic powdered ginger from the island of Fiji. One of the cool things about cooking with ginger is that you can play around with it in recipes until you find what works best for your tastes--while still getting some great health benefits."

A hand-carved wooden quarter-teaspoon measure sits inside the jar. $24 for 0.6 ounce, wakayaperfection.com.”
