Dark N’ Stormy

For the third drink of Christmas, my bartender made for me…a Dark N’ Stormy. Actually, you can make this one easily yourself.

The history of this cocktail comes from the British Navy on the open seas near Bermuda – and of course it was dark and stormy. It was created out of what the sailors had on hand – rations of Dark Rum – which they probably had pillaged. Sounds like the typical family holiday to me. Drink up.

  • 2oz Dark Rum – Gosling Black Seal Rum is the trademarked classic for this drink
  • 3oz Ginger Beer
  • Ice
  • Fresh Lime

1. Pour rum and ginger beer over ice in a highball glass.

2. Stir

3. Add lime

4. Enjoy

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
