A traditional Pennsylvania Dutch Christmas cookie has entered the Center City bar scene dressed up as alcohol. A Philadelphia-based artisan boutique created a spirit based on the lebkucha, a type of honey cake which has an intellectual pedigree.

It's called Snap, distilled from molasses with a ginger aftertaste – the ingredients of the leb-kucha. Bartender Ed Jones at Farmacia in Old City gives Snap some crackle by adding pop rocks.

Don't know about the pop rocks, but that would be amazing to kick up some coffee!
