Dark ‘n’ Stormy

Goslings from Bermuda, makers of Goslings Black Seal rum since 1857, trademarked Dark ‘n’ Stormy and technically this is the only rum you should use. Well bobbins to that. It is decent spiced rum and works well in the context but nobody wants their choice of spirit dictated to them. Drink what you wish and be damned. Let them sue.

Moscow Mule

In 1941 John Martin, owner of Smirnoff at the time, met Jack Morgan at Jack’s bar, The Cock n’ Bull, on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, along with Russian immigrant Sophie Berezinsk,i who wanted to sell her father’s copper mugs. Jack made his own ginger beer. Right then and there the Moscow Mule, originally the Smirnoff Mule, was born.
