Instructions
- If you're not familiar with a traditional 'Dark and Stormy' then shame on you! It's one of my favorite cocktails and we make it all the time down when we have get-togethers. The traditional Dark and Stormy is just spiced rum and ginger beer... pretty simple. This one is a little different with the citrus and mint which I think plays off the ginger beer fantastically. Ginger beer is different than Ginger ale by the way people. Make sure it's ginger beer! Ginger beer is fermented... like beer, while gingerale which is a carbonated soda with ginger flavor. Even though it says 'beer' in the name it is still a non-alcoholic beverage. Ok, time to make a delicious cocktail! In a shaker muddle up the orange, lime, mint, and sugar to release all the juices. Add the spiced rum and shake together. Strain it over ice and top it off with cold ginger beer and garnish with a slice of lime. Now you have a delicious Spring cocktail that I know you will love. Enjoy!
