Nothing but Blue Skies

 

Posted by Sarah, Editor-In-Chief

It is precisely at this time every year, when my skin is the color of pizza dough and S.A.D. symptoms sound strikingly familiar, that I get the urge to head south. I usually do, but this job (which I love! really! I promise!) has kept me here in my office, for many hours and counting, while we close our next issue. And so I am turning to the next best thing to a vacation: the Dark and Stormy. Here is a picture of one that I sipped on a dock in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts, in the summer of '05. Sublime.

The recipe is ridiculously easy -- one-third Goslings Black Seal rum to two-thirds ginger beer (I like 'em strong), with a generous squeeze of lime. And for the spiciest blend around, use Blenheim HOT HOT Ginger Ale. I've only seen it at the Piggly Wiggly in Charleston, South Carolina, but you can order it online. Here's to weathering the storm.
