A tangy, saucy item that commands a cult-like following around the world has returned to McDonald's locations south of the border.

Forget "Return of the Mack," it's the return of the rack...of ribs — erm, okay it's the McRib, not exactly rack-like, but you get it. 

However you choose to describe it, the McRib's return always ushers in an all-out feeding frenzy under the fast-food restaurant's trademark golden arches. Sadly, Canadians won't have the opportunity to savour the meaty madness right now; it's only available to Americans at the moment. 

But locals can enjoy something that may hit a little harder (or a lot, depending on how you look it). 

Beloved Vancouver-born actor Ryan Reynolds has shared a video of a McRib-inspired cocktail to celebrate the saucy selection's 40th anniversary. It's called the Gin Riblet and includes half-an-ounce of tangy barbecue sauce. 

"Not sure gin and barbecue sauce go together? Well, let me Mc-prove it," says the funnyman before he explains what ingredients go into the "glass-shaped cocktail" based on the "rib-shaped sandwich."

At the end of the video, Reynolds quips that it's "like a bloody Mary's hotter cousin."

Earlier this year, the Deadpool star created a refreshing gin cocktail in a new video to celebrate Father's Day — but its name might surprise you. 

Dubbed "The Vasectomy," the Aviation Gin cocktail calls for an ounce and a half of the hard stuff, a glass of ice, one ounce of cranberry juice, three ounces of tonic water and a dash of lemon juice.
