Perfect Storm Cocktail

The ship may have sailed on fruity summer cocktails, but this autumnal take on the Dark and Stormy, a classic boater's beverage, is a swell replacement.

  • Yield Serves 1

Ingredients

    • 1 vanilla bean
    • 1/2 cup superfine sugar
    • 1 ounce ginger brew (we like Reed's)
    • 1 1/2 ounces apple cider
    • 2 ounces dark rum (we use Gosling's Black seal)

Directions

  1. Split a vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the inside and add it to the sugar, setting aside the pod. Stir until the sugar is speckled with bits of vanilla. Dip the rim of a glass in water, then in the sugar to coat. Mix ginger brew, apple cider, and rum in a measuring cup. Pour over ice into glass and garnish with half the vanilla bean.
