Curried Dark and Stormies

The piney flavor of a Meyer lemon really plays up the curry kick in this version of the classic. We like SC’s own Blenheim’s ginger ale for added heat.

Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4 Serving(s)
  • 8 ounces dark unspiced rum
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • Ginger beer or ale
  • 2 ounces Meyer lemon juice, plus zest (or substitute limes or regular lemons)
  • 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
  • Ice
  • Collins glass

Preparation

Stir together rum and curry powder, and let sit until guests arrive, at least 20 minutes.

Divide rum amongst 4 collins glasses. (Depending on the richness of your rum and the strength of your ginger brew, you may want to add up to a tablespoon of real maple syrup.) Add ½ ounce of lemon juice per glass. Stir well.

Add ice to the glass and top with ginger brew, stir. Garnish with citrus zest.
