Libation of the Week: Dark and Stormy
A delicious combination of dark rum, ginger beer, and lime served on ice. My personal preference is to make it using Stewart's Ginger Beer because it's super gingery. It's like getting punched in the face with ginger. It sounds unpleasant, but it's quite refreshing. Remember those old Hawaiian Punch commercials, kind of like that.

I ALMOST had a Dark 'n' Stormy last night at a bar out here called Albatross. It's one of my top three favorites. I opted instead for the Truthseeker.
ReplyDeleteWhat is in the Truthseeker? That sounds good. Is it just sodium pentothal?
