SUNDAY SESH // DARK 'N' STORMY
This Sunday Sesh we are raising our glasses to the Dark 'n' Stormy!
In 1991 something strange happened, the Gosling brothers Limited, a company that makes and distributes rum, Trademarked their own cocktail! As odd as that might sound, in America, you cannot call this drink a 'Dark 'n' Stormy' unless it is made from official GBL Black Seal Rum. This drink was created when sailors, added their Black Seal Rum to a mug of ginger beer.
So spit in a mug, and clean er' out for this simple classic.
Ingredients:
- 2 shots of Gosling's Black Seal Rum
- Ginger beer to top
- Ice cubes to cool
- Lemon wedge
Method:
- Fill a glass with ice, add the rum, and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lemon wedge, or nothing at all.
- Make another round, and repeat.

SUNDAY SESH // VIEUX CARRÉ
A good place to start with the Vieux Carre, perhaps, is how to pronounce it. Although the name is French, the pronunciation most certainly is not. This cocktail is pronounced ‘voo car-ray’.
