As I was flipping through my bartending book a while back this drink caught my eye. Not because of it’s list of ingredients, but because I have a cousin by the same name.
More times than not I have terrible luck with the bar book. Most drinks are either far to sweet or have such ridiculous names that I would be too embarrassed to ever order them at a bar, much less serve them to guests in my home.
This ones list of ingredients however sounded normal enough. Nothing to unheard of, no unnatural colors, no artificial flavors…..just simple ingredients for a very simple drink. As expected it turned out quite tasty. Light, refreshing, with a nice splash of citrus flavor, this drink is so easy going down.
Now I just need to make this drink next time my cousin stops by, I know she is going to love it!
Recipe from the Bartender’s Little Black Book
Fill a glass with ice. Add 2 ounces light rum and 1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice. Fill with ginger ale and garnish with a fresh lime.

This sounds really good. I wonder if I can order it by name at a bar.

Looks like a lighter version of one of my favorites: Dark and Stormy. It’s made with dark rum and ginger beer (which is not alchoholic but more like a strong version of ginger ale).
