DARK AND STORMY
Steps:

DARK AND STORMY
In 2004, William L. Hamilton waxed poetic about the Dark and Stormy, describing it both as "a drink traditionally associated with sailing and the manly habit of appearing to keep one's balance while determinedly losing it" and as "a spicy and spritzed two-legged, walk-the-decks kind of drink with a lime wedge perched at the top like a pirate's parrot." This version, adapted from Red Sky, a restaurant on Mount Desert Island in Maine, uses a combination of Gosling's Black Seal rum and AJ Stephans ginger beer. Simple to prepare - no shaking or stirring involved - mix one up and enjoy it on a sweltering summer night. And don't forget the lime wedge.

Steps:
- For the quick ginger beer: In a large saucepan add the grated ginger (along with any juice), allspice berries, cloves, sugar and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat. Add the lime zest and let steep while it cools, about 30 minutes. Strain into a pitcher and stir in the lime juice. Fill with sparkling water. Serve over ice within one day or use in a dark and stormy cocktail. Makes 5 cups.
- For the dark and stormy: Fill a highball glass halfway with crushed ice. Add the rum and 5 to 6 ounces ginger beer. Top with lime juice, stir and garnish with lime slices. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Limes that are too old will have a bitter taste.
- If you don't have ginger beer, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of fresh ginger juice, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Add a splash of grenadine to the bottom of the glass for a beautiful layered effect.
- Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
- Serve the Dark and Stormy immediately.
