Dark and Stormy is the New Mojito


The last two years the mojito has gone from a drink nobody had heard of to a drink that is everywhere. I am kind of on mojito overload. They are everywhere. Well for those who like to be on the cutting edge, I wanted to let you know that I am starting a new drink trend: the Dark and Stormy. I originally learned about this drink from my brother who made them strong and tasty. I have asked for them at several bars and gotten quizzical looks but recently had a wonderful one at Blue Coast. I am telling you people, get a recipe, mix one up and enjoy. When I had one at the restaurant it looked like a black and tan, they somehow got the various elements to stay separated. mmm...mmmm....goood.
PS- apparently this drink comes from Bermuda, although I have never been. I am just introducing it to the rest of the world.
Recipe:
-2 oz. Rum (it seems some people recommend Gosling's Black Seal Rum, no they are not a sponsor of this website)
-8 oz. ginger beer
-lime juice
