Midweek Happy Hour: Dark & Stormy
by Andrea Leigh
on June 11, 2008
Okay, the weather has been terrible in Seattle. It's depressing, but rather than distract myself with fruity cocktails, I prefer to revel in the moodiness of our ever-present gray skies and mix up a Dark & Stormy. My favorite liquor is rum anyway, and the addition of spicy ginger lends it just enough kick to keep you in the game until the sun shows itself again.
Dark & Stormy
Ingredients
2 ounces Gosling's Black Seal rum (D&S fans insist this is the only rum that'll do)
8 ounces ginger beer (or ginger ale if you're a sissy)
Ice
Slice of lime
Directions
Pour rum over ice, add ginger beer, and stir. Garnish with a slice of lime, glower sulkily out the window, repeat.
