Dark rum to taste (Goslings black seal)
Ice
squeeze of lime
Had a Dark and Stormy last week at Drink in Boston. With their own house-made ginger beer. O. M. G. If I could get my hands on their ginger beer, I'd swill Dark and Stormys all summer.
Lately, due to having smuggled a couple of liters of Havana Club Reserva Aņejo back from CUN I've been enjoying this drink:
2 oz. gold rum (if you can't get Cuban rum Mount Gay will do nicely)
1/2 oz. Citronge (if you can get Creole Shrub even better)
half a lime
Fill short glass with sturdy rocks. Squeeze lime half into glass, put the heel into glass. Add Citronge and rum. One pass into and out of a mixing glass, relax and enjoy on the rocks. Optional: if you're using Cuban rum, light a cigar and call yourself
