Dark and Stormy Recipe

We’re getting ready for hurricane Sandy here on the East coast. So, we thought sharing our Dark and Stormy recipe with you was appropriate.

Dark and Stormy Recipe Has Only Three Ingredients

The dark and stormy comes out of Bermuda and combines only three ingredients. Dark rum, Ginger beer and a splash of lime. Dark rum is a must for this and if you wanted to really follow the rules, you should use Gosling’s black rum. That combined with Ginger beer (a much spicier take on ginger ale ) makes for one seriously delicious cocktail.

How do you prepare for bad weather?

Us, well we’ve stocked up on candles, batteries, canned goods and water. More importantly, though, we made a huge batch of cookies!
