Dark ‘n’ Stormy

Ingredients

2 oz.	Gosling’s Black Seal Rum (Dark Rum)
.5 oz.	Lime Juice
3 oz.	Ginger Beer
Garnish	Lime Wheel

Directions

Combine the Ginger Beer and Lime Juice in a Highball Glass over Ice
Float the Rum on Top
Garnish with a Lime Wheel and Straw

The Dark ‘n’ Stormy was invented a long time ago in an Island in the Atlantic Ocean. In a similar fashion to Pusser’s with the Painkiller, despite not inventing the Cocktail, Gosling’s trademarked the name Dark ‘n’ Stormy so that it has to be made with Gosling’s Rum. If you make it with a different Rum, it is not a Dark ‘n’ Stormy. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.

The Bahama Mama is a vacation drink that is very in line with the Hurricane and Piña Colada. The drink has had its recipe tweaked over the years and nobody quite makes it the same way. The original contains Coffee Liqueur, but many recipes omit it. It adds a nice earthy taste to the drink, so I left it in.

Homemade Infused Liquor

Directions

Infusing Liquor is a relatively easy process, but can take awhile.

You just soak whatever flavor you want in the Liquor you want at room temperature.

For Citron Vodka (Lemon Flavored Vodka) used in the Lemon Drop Martini and Cosmopolitan, you would let Lemon Peels soak in Vodka for around 2 to 3 Days.

For the Earl Grey Gin used in the Earl Grey MarTeani, you would let a Tea Bag soak in Gin for a couple hours.

You can do the same thing with Cucumbers or Orange Peels.
