Dark And Stormy image

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.

I'm not sure I like the combination of dark rum and ginger beer. I think I'll stick to vodka next time.
