Drinking Soundtrack of The Week

Two for Today.

Pink performs "Sober"

Tool (wearing pink) performs "Sober"

I love both of these songs, although marjorly stylistically different, both are great songs for the Sunday after the Saturday night.  A good friend of mine would always play them back to back, and that is how I came to know them.

Merci Benoit, je m'ennuie de toi mon bon ami.

The featured drink today is one whose name has special significance. While we all know the Dark n' Stomy this variation adds a dash of water to remember those who were and are still effected by hurricane Sandy.  The drink is being served in many restaurants and bars in NYC, but many city streets are still in the dark, and may be for a while.

The Historical Inebriant: The Dark and Sandy 

Ingredients: 

4 oz. Ginger Beer
4 oz. Gosling’s Rum
1 Dash water

Place ingredients in shaker along with ice. Shake vigorously. Pour into chilled cocktail glass.

Please keep those whose lives and possessions were damaged by the storm, in your hearts.  For some it will be a very, very long road back.  Do what you can to make their struggle a little easier.  Donate food to foodbanks, donate clothes to shelters, donate money to the Red Cross. You know what to do.

Thank you.
