The Sea Kreature at Ramen Bowls, 125 E. 10th St.

In mid-to-late March, when social media only serves as a glum — but not entirely accurate — reminder that everyone is on spring break but you, a tropical-themed cocktail sort of reinforces the point.

But, you know, there’s something about the flavor trifecta of coconut, pineapple and ginger — and, of course, alcohol content — that temporarily sets one at ease. Almost like a mini vacation in a glass.

After one of these little guys, you’ll most likely forgive the “K” in “Kreature,” if you’re the type who gets riled up over an erroneous “K” when a “C” would do just fine. It might even seem endearing.

The hard stuff: Ginger vodka, rum (both of the coconut and spiced variety)

Where it’s served: Ramen Bowls, 125 E. 10th St.

What you’ll pay: $7

Other libations at this location: A few other tropical- and/or nautical-themed cocktails, like the Dark and Stormy (ginger beer and spiced rum) or the Island Margarita, which apparently offers a “Pacific twist” on the old standby. Also, lots and lots of sake, on its own or in cocktails. The Sake Apple Fizz, made with sparkling sake and apple pie liquor, might be next on my “try” list.

— Drink up. Stay classy. Don’t forget to tip your bartender. And let us know if you want to suggest a libation for this feature — email jhlavacek@ljworld.com or Tweet her at Twitter.com/hlavacekjoanna. Cheers.
