Master mixologist Tona Palomino from New York’s WD-50 gets the credit for this grown up version of the Dark and Stormy (Gosling’s dark rum and Barritt’s ginger beer). Our taste test of the Stormy Weather found a refined version of an old favorite. More patent leather than boat shoe & far more potent than its counterpart from Bermuda. We recommend not operating heavy machinery after a couple of these.

Stormy Weather

2 oz. Amber Rum (Bacardi 8 works just fine)
1 oz. Carpano Antica sweet vermouth (we used Noilly Prat)
