A Perfect Storm.

One of my goals this summer was to expand my drinking horizons, specifically with mixed drinks. I also wanted to learn how to make the drinks myself. Now that I have a blog, I figured I'd post my drink-explorations on here for you all to enjoy. The drink we are making today is called A Perfect Storm. It's a fairly strong rum based drink, and it is, so far, one of my favourite drink recipes I've come across.

What you'll need:

- Kraken Black Spiced Rum
- Ginger Ale
- Fresh lemon or lime (I just used lime juice)
- A mixer
- Ice

1) Put 2 oz of Kraken Rum into the mixer (I use a shot glass for measuring as one shot equals one ounce)

2) Put 6 oz of Ginger Ale into the mixer 

3) Add a splash of fresh lemon or lime (I just used lime juice, although I'm sure fresh juice would be best)

4) Mix over ice 

5) Shake (be careful to not shake too hard as the carbonated Ginger Ale could bubble over) 

6) Strain into glass over fresh ice (highball glass preferred) 

7) Garnish with a lemon or lime twist (something I didn't have)

The end product should look something like this: 

If this drink sounds interesting I recommend you give it a try! Enjoy!
