With hurricane Irene threatening pretty much the whole Eastern Seaboard, people are stocking up on provisions and essentials to weather the storm. In the advent of such a historic hurricane, I can't think of a more appropriate cocktail then a Dark and Stormy.
The ingredients are simple and easy to keep on hand- and the drink comes together faster then you'll get soaked in a downpour. For my Dark and Stormy, I use the classic Gosling's Black Seal Bermuda Black Rum. You could use any dark rum you have on hand, but I think this is the most authentic.
Fill two tall glasses with ice, and then pour over two shots of dark rum. Add 1/2 a shot of Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice, and fill almost to the brim with a good ginger beer. Squeeze 1/2 a lime over each glass, and use the other half to slice for garnish. Stir to combine, turn off the news, and enjoy!
