Dark and Stormy

Windjammer enthusiasts take a look here at a first person account in the Orlando Sentinel of four dark and stormy nights aboard the 82-foot schooner Nathaniel Bowditch in early October on Penobscot Bay (off the coast of Maine.) Speaking of Dark & Stormy it's high time for a rum-based winter cocktail party to chase away the winter blues. Who has a favorite Dark & Stormy cocktail recipe to share. Yes, we all know Goslings is the genesis of any good D&S and ginger beer is a key component (but what brand?). I always add a wedge of lime...

Good link, it's cool for me because I was born in Maine and live in Orlando. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a quadriplegic photojournalist that does work w/ disabled sailors and athletes.I did an interview with Mike Rowney for my site. He is single hand sailing around Australia for Charity.

Funny you should mention D&S's. We recently fired up a discussion over in the Seadated Forums about rum drinks. Check it out and leave some recipes behind! I never heard of the bitters before... hmmm...
