Ahab's Storm
Dark, bold, and intense. Perfect for sipping while watching a sea faring epic.
Equipment
- Jigger, shot glass, or measuring spoon See care note below
- Highball or rocks glass
- Cocktail spoon or other stirring tool
- Paring knife and cutting board To prep the juice and garnish
- juicing tool
- Container to save any leftover lime
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 cups ice cubes I like lots of small ice cubes but you do you
- 1 or 2 limes for juice and for garnish
- 2 oz dark rum
- 4 oz ginger beer (to taste)
- 2 dashes aromatic bitters (like Angostura)
- 1/2 oz lime juice (fresh squeezed preferably) 1/2 oz = 1 Tablespoon
Instructions
Juice lime and cut wedge for garnish
- Wash lime
- Using paring knife and cutting board, cut lime in half
- Use juicing tool to squeeze juice from half and measure to 1/2 oz. (1/2 the lime should be enough but it might not be)
- Cut the remaining lime half into half so you get two wedges. Keep one for the garnish and store the other one in a container in the refrigerator.
Mix Drink
- Fill glass about three-quarters full with ice
- Pour 2 oz of dark rum into glass
- Add the 1/2 oz of lime juice
- Add ginger beer
- Add 2 dashes of aromatic bitters over the top (adds a stormy, dramatic swirl)
- Stir gently to combine
- Garnish with the fresh lime wedge (either place on the rim or drop it into your glass)
