Dark 'N' Stormy

2013 challenge; week 29: for July 14: Dark

The Dark 'N' Stormy is known as "Bermuda's National Drink". It consists of Gosling's Black Seal Rum and ginger beer over ice. It is optionally accompanied by a slice of lime.

The Dark 'N Stormy gained popularity through the sailing community up and down the east coast of the US, having been brought home by various sailors who frequented Bermuda. Most bars in port towns have the Dark N Stormy on their menu, made with various brands of Ginger Beer.

In the dark of the night we sat down on the patio to have a summertime cocktail - the Dark 'N' Stormy.
