Dark and Stormy

 A slightly more gingery take on the standard Dark and Stormy.

Ingredients:

• 1½ measures Pampero Aniversario rum
• ½ measure ginger liqueur (I used Dr Ginger)
• Juice of half a lime
• 2 measures ginger beer (I used Fentiman’s)
• Dash of angostura bitters
• A wedge of lime

Serves 1

Shake the rum, ginger liqueur and lime juice over ice. Pour over a large ice cube in a glass. Top up with ginger beer, stir, and add the lime wedge and bitters. You can alter the amount of ginger beer depending on how long or short you like the drink: traditionally you would add about the same volume again (so 2 measures), though I prefer it slightly shorter.
