Ginja drink / recipe recommendations?
I've been given a few pints of ginja - what should I make with it? Drinks seem logical, but if there's something else that is over-the-top great, I'd like to know about it.

Try a Cat's Eye or a Serpent's Egg
Perhaps it can be used as a substitute for Cherry Heering in drinks like the Blood and Sand, the Communist, or a Singapore Sling.
Keep in mind you probably won't be using much of it in any given cocktail (.25 to .5oz), so the pints (!!) are going to last you a while. If you're feeling festive you could throw a party and create a Ginja-based punch. Check out Nick Strangeway's Punch a la Milanese at Gin and Tales for amazing technique at putting together a punch recipe.
Personally, I'd lean towards using it with Gin for an everyday kind of cocktail, and maybe Creme de Cacao and/or Brandy for something more desert-like in flavor.
good luck! :D
