Drinking Alone - Dark & Stormy

Alcohol related advice so good, that if you take heed, you won't need anyone else around to enjoy the experience... You can even be alone in your parents house, where you are "temporarily" living, while you "save money".


Every few months we like to buy a GQ. You know, to see if the "Gentleman" are keeping up with us. In this month's issue, a drink called the Dark & Stormy is profiled, and since they call it the perfect summer drink, we were persuaded to give it a try.

Step 1- collect ingredients: sturdy glass, lots of ice cubes, dark rum, ginger beer or ale, limes

Step 2- fill glass with ice, 50% rum, 50% ginger beer, and a couple crushed limes

Step 3- Stir and disregard mom's scowl

Our Verdict: While we don't think it's the perfect summer drink (that would be the Kitepirinha) it is very good. And it's interesting that the Dark & Stormy has the same characteristics we look for in women - easy (to make), dark, bubbly, and they go-down smooth... hi-ohhhhh.
