Dark and Stormy

2 oz. Goslings Black Seal Rum
3/4 oz. Lime juice
1 oz. Ginger syrup
Club soda
1 Lime wheel
Candied ginger


Combine all the ingredients (minus the club soda) and whip (shake with a few pieces of cracked ice).  Strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes.  Top with club soda.  Garnish with a lime wheel and candied ginger flag and serve with a straw.  


So the first sip out of the straw for this drink about dropped me.  Ginger is some powerful shit.  Make sure and give it a good stir to incorporate the club soda.  I found avoiding the straw and just sipping straight from the glass the way to go.  From then on things went great.  I found the candied ginger in the bulk foods section at the grocery store.  Grabbed a few peices for $.77.  I also found candied ginger to be disgusting.  Not at all like real candy.
