Dark and stormys are the only mixed drink that I absolutely wholeheartedly adore!! All that ginger…mmm. Warms the soul.
My mom loves a good Dark n Stormy and she just so happens to be flying into town tomorrow. I think it’s a sign that I need to make this for her!
Dark and Stormy…oh, sounds like a prefect film noir drink! Cheers!
What a coincidence! Just last night I was thinking that I love a good Dark n’ Stormy, and that I should post a recipe for it to my site sometime soon. Don’t have to now, because you beat me to it!!! 🙂
