Marinating
1. Place your ribs in a a small container, as fitted to the ribs as possible. Add the mix of herbs and spices evenly to each side of the ribs.
2. Pour the cup of beer and the orange juice over the ribs, they should be about covered with liquid. Close the container and allow ribs to marinate for up to 8 hours. Marinating the ribs like this tenderizes them, but you can also skip this step if you don’t have time. They just won’t be as soft when bake them, but they’ll still be very tasty.

The Sauce
1. Take a small-medium sized sauce pot. Pour the beer-orange juice marinade out of the container with the ribs and into the pot. Then add all of the other sauce ingredients ((ketchup, maple syrup, hot sauce, whiskey, rum, butter, soy sauce, and mustard) into the pot, as well. Turn the stove on and bring the sauce to a boil, then lower the heat and allow the sauce to simmer and reduce for 15-20 minutes, until it’s thickened and has reduced to about 1/2 the amount you started with.

Baked Drunk Ribs
1. Heat the oven to 200c/300f. Place your ribs in a small pan, and pour about 1/2 a cup of the sauce over the ribs. Make sure the bottom and top of the ribs are coated in sauce. Bake the ribs for about 15-20 minutes, until you begin to see the sauce becoming a bit charred and caramelized.

Corn Salad
1. If using fresh corn, boil the corn in a pot of water for about 6-10 minutes. Then slice the kernels off the cob and place them in a medium sized bowl.
2. Add all the other corn salad ingredients to the bowl and mix well. Add salt & hot sauce according to your taste buds!

Quesadillas
1. Sautee the mushrooms, leeks, and spinach for about 5 minutes. The put them in a small bowl or plate for a moment.
2. Place a tortilla on the pan. Sprinkle some cheese and distribute a thin layer of the sautéed veggies, and then a little more cheese on top. Place the second toritilla on top.
3. Turn the stove to a medium flame. Cover the quesadilla for about 30 seconds and then check the bottom of the quesadilla. Continue to cover and check then quesadilla, until the bottle is nicely browed. Then turn off the heat, and serve!
