This Dark and Stormy Week Calls for a Cocktail of Dark and Stormy

Happy weekend everyone, and welcome back to Happy 3 Ingredient Hour , a weekly drinks column featuring very simple yet delicious libations. We’re doing a rum-heavy Dark ‘n’ Stormy this week because this week, for lack of a better phrase, has been bullshit.

If last week’s events didn’t tire you in the least, we probably don’t have much in common, but chances are that you – especially if you’re a woman – probably need a drink. You, my friend, need something that is both durable and easy to build, and Dark ‘n’ Stormy – both. To make it you will need:

  • 2 ounces unspiced dark rum
  • 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
  • About 3 ounces of really good ginger beer (I like Cock ‘n’ Bull)

Add rum and lime to highball glass and stir slightly. Add ice to fill the glass, top with ginger beer and stir gently again. Sip your drink, disconnect from the internet, and repeat as needed.
