Dark and Stormy Cocktail (Serves 1)

Nick, Felix and I have become rather partial to this cocktail over the last few months. It’s particularly good on a warm summer’s evening (here’s hoping!). Made with rum, ginger beer and lime it’s a refreshing, long cocktail.

50ml dark rum

20ml freshly squeezed lime juice

10ml sugar syrup

2 dashes of Angostura bitters

90ml Ginger beer

Ice

A lime wedge to serve

1. Add the rum, lime juice, sugar syrup and the Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker and shake with the ice.
2. Strain into an ice-filled glass (a tall glass such as a ‘Collins’). Top with the ginger beer, stir briefly and garnish with a lime wedge.
