Indian Summer is upon us - which means they days are still hot and the nights are still warm and magical. September can still be brutally hot - surprisingly hot - the only reprieve being cold beverages!
One of my favorite summer cocktails is a Dark and Stormy - a complex but refreshingly simple cocktail that is always a crowd pleaser. The classic recipe calls for Ginger Beer, Gosling's Rum, and Lime, but a little kick of ginger liqueur takes this drink to the next level.
This summer I started making Deconstructed Dark and Stormy's with Crabbie's Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer, Rum, and home-made Limeade popsicles (which were incredibly delicious on their own too). The deconstructed version is also incredibly easy to make, and always a crowd-pleaser! There is something so delightful about having a popsicle dunked into your cocktail!!
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
