COCKTAIL: SHOT IN THE DARK

Bryan has a fully stocked bar in his bedroom and is always wanting to make fancy drinks - which is perfect because I'm always down to sip on something scrummy. Last night we decided to try these babies out. If you like sweet and refreshing I would def give these a try!

what you'll need:

• 1 lemon wedge and raw sugar for the rim
• ice
• 1 1/2 oz light rum
• 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• 4 oz good quality ginger beer
• about 1/4 oz dark rum (kracken is yummy)

how to make it:

• moisten the outside edge of a highball glass with the lemon wedge
• sprinkle a little raw sugar on a small plate and dip the moistened rim in the sugar to coat it
• fill the glass and a cocktail shaker with ice
• add the light rum, lemon juice and simple syrup to the shaker and shake vigorously
• strain into the prepared glass and top with the ginger beer
• float the dark rum on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon into the glass
• serve and drink up!

keep in mind:

• if you like sweet drinks you will like this
• if you don't like sweet drinks you will still like this
