It was a dark & stormy All Hallows Eve….

October 29, 2012

;

Happy Halloween my little zombies! No, it isn’t quite Halloween yet, but it’s close enough. And I thought a cocktail called a “dark ‘n’ stormy” would be a perfect treat for sharing with you on Halloween. Come on. Is there a better named drink than that for Wednesday night? No. Not only for Wednesday night, but tonight– since the ridiculous Hurricane Sandy is barreling her way up here to NY today. And what could be better than a delicious spooky sounding cocktail made with homemade ingredients for a pre-Halloween storm dubbed “Frankenstorm”?

Ugh, I know. It sucks. I really hate hurricanes. Down in NOLA or other hurricane-prone places, people have “hurricane parties“; they’re so used to it. But see, here in New York we don’t get them often. we aren’t used to it at all, and they can be terrifying. And the shitty thing about it is not only do we never get ’em, but when we do… they’re usually a doozy. Especially these “once in a lifetime” ones that combine with Nor’Easters or cold fronts to make a monster of a storm. They’re historic storms that end up not only knocking out power & screwing everyone else’s life up for days if not weeks, but sadly killing people on a grand scale. But what is there to do about it? Nothing. Nothing but sit & wait it out. Mother Nature does what she wants. It’s her world, we all just live in it. Respect your mother, right?

It seems I’ve been posting tons of drinks & alcohol infusions & such lately; pumpkin spice latte mix, candy corn vodka, now this. But I can’t help it. Once you start with this stuff you can’t stop. And this particular post all started when I made my own ginger ale… or ginger beer, actually.

The original recipe requires only ginger, sugar, water, lemon juice and a fungal-bacteria symbiote[4] known as a ginger beer plant. Fermentation over a few days turns the mixture into ginger beer.

Forms of live culture other than the ginger beer plant can produce a fermented ginger beer. Cultures used include brewers or baker’s yeast, lactic acid bacteria, kefir grains, and tibicos. Brewing ginger beer generates carbon dioxide as in beer. The alcohol content, when produced by the traditional process can be high, up to 11 %,[2] although ginger beer is usually brewed with much less alcohol.

Brewed ginger beer often includes other flavorings, prominently lemon or lime juice. These juices are not merely ornamental, however, as they establish an acidic pH balance for the solution; this helps in both protecting the ginger beer from other cultures, as well as facilitating sugar inversion to increase the availability of the more readily metabolised fructose and glucose. Other, more strictly flavoring-specific, elements have often included: citrus zests; cayenne pepper and other hot spices; and admixtures from other brews such as nettle or dandelion beers.

I had wanted to do it for a long time, but I kept putting it off & putting it off. I don’t really know why- maybe because I just kept thinking it would be more complicated than it is? Or maybe ’cause I can be kinda lazy. Whatever. But at any rate, I finally got to a point where I decided I was going to do it. And I did. Complete with a scary little bat flying around…

;

I found two awesome recipes here and I figured I’d try them both. The first one I made was the “fermented” version; made with yeast. It was super easy to make and even though it took almost 3 days to get to sip on, it was more than worth it. I used lime juice instead of lemon and it was fine. Of course with that homemade yeasty-ness too. Not too shabby. But the thing I really wanted to do was make a dark ‘n’ stormy cocktail with it for Halloween. And boy, did I ever!

A Dark and Stormy (or Dark ‘n’ Stormy) is an alcoholic highball style cocktail popular in many British Commonwealth countries, such as Bermuda and Australia. It consists of dark rum and ginger beer over ice. It is optionally accompanied by a slice of lime.

While the Dark ‘n’ Stormy is traditionally made with dark or black rum, one variation nicknamed the Light ‘n’ Stormy uses 10 Cane, a light rum, and Blenheim Old #3 Hot ginger ale.[7][8] Another variation on the Dark ‘n’ Stormy, called the Ginger Bush, swaps Rum for Bourbon.[citation needed]

For several years, Gosling’s has been a sponsor of the annual yachting regatta Chester Race Week in Chester, Nova Scotia. The Dark ‘n’ Stormy is the special drink of the night each year, made with ginger beer brewed by local Halifax, NS brewery Propeller Brewery.

Rum mixed with ginger wine is a particularly strong combination, known as a Turbo Dark N’ Stormy, and is a favourite tipple of Pembroke College Boat Club (Oxford).[citation needed]

-Wikipedia

Alright. So the drink really doesn’t have anything to do with Halloween or even this time of year. But the name, people… the name! And while I’m no expert on this drink, I find the homemade ginger beer really made all the difference. And as a matter of fact, I liked the process so much, I made brewed up a vanilla cream soda version the next night. And I’m planning on a root beer version. But you don’t care about all that. You wanna get drunk. I understand.

I actually found that this ginger beer was much better in the cocktail than it was alone.

DARK ‘N’ STORMY

Ingredients:

  • 1 shot (or 2 ounces) of dark rum (preferably Gosling’s Black Seal, but anything dark will do- I used Myers’s myself)
  • 1 cup homemade ginger beer (recipe below)
  • One quarter of a lime
  • 1 sprig fresh mint

Directions:

  1. In a glass filled with ice, pour rum, then pour ginger beer. Stir.
  2. Squeeze the lime in, and if you like, toss the lime right on in the glass.
  3. Top with mint, candied ginger, or lime if you’re fancy, or you can spear a lime slice on a fancy pick like my Halloween bat.
  4. Drink up.

HOMEMADE FERMENTED GINGER BEER (adapted a teensy bit from monikakotus.com)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2-2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger root
  • juice of one lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon baker’s yeast
  • cold fresh spring or filtered water (yeast does not like chlorine, so make sure you don’t use fresh tap water unless you let it sit overnight first)

Directions:

  1. Through a funnel add sugar and yeast to a 2-liter plastic bottle. Mix grated ginger root and lime juice and then transfer it to a bottle, add water to fill it half way and shake well to mix all ingredients.
  2. Add more water, leaving about an inch head space, screw the cap on and shake again. You can also mix all the ingredients in a jar and then transfer to a plastic bottle.
  3. Leave in a warm place for about two days and then transfer to refrigerator, to stop fermentation process. Refrigerate overnight.
  4. Pour it through a strainer and enjoy!
My fancy French glass bottle was so tall it never fully made it into any of the shots! GRR…

Okay, now, technically the only rum you should use in a dark ‘n’ stormy is Gosling’s. They apparently patented it. But I don’t really see why you can’t, in the privacy of your own home, use whatever dark or spiced rum you have: Kraken, Sailor Jerry, Captain Morgan, Myers’s, Bacardi, etc. And also, technically, you can use ginger ale instead of ginger beer in a dark ‘n’ stormy. Nobody’s going to kill you. However traditionally, ginger beer is what’s used. So if you’re not going to make your own, then at least buy one. There are a huge variety of brands, from Goya, Reeds, Barritt’s & Regatta to those fancy small batch micro-brewed ones you can get at a natural market or beer distributor. And if you do make your own, and you find it too yeasty or too earthy for your taste, try using Champagne yeast instead of supermarket baker’s yeast in the next batch. I thought it was amazing, myself, but of course everyone has a different idea of what kind of ginger ale they like. Tweak it the way you want it. More sugar, less sugar, more ginger, lemon juice instead of lime juice, different yeast, etc.

Also just a small note of massive importance: you cannot use a sugar substitute. Yeast needs sugar to work it’s magic, so you could try lessening the amount of real sugar, and subbing Stevia or something for the rest… but you absolutely MUST use real sugar in some amount in order to get the yeast going. Also, because of this, there’s a minute amount of alcohol in the finished product. Nowhere near enough to matter, really, unless you’re restricted by health or religious factors. It probably amounts to the same percentage in chewing gum or something.

And now for something (not so) completely different…

;

The second one was a syrup that you mix with sparkling water or club soda to make an “instant” ginger ale. It’s sweeter, doesn’t have that ‘yeasty’ flavor of the other one and it’s very, very easy. Way easier than the fermented stuff, and that stuff is crazy easy in and of itself. Basically: one cup thinly sliced fresh ginger + one cup sugar + two cups water = ginger syrup. Put it all in a medium saucepan, bring to a light boil then lower the heat & simmer for ten minutes. It makes about 2 cups (mine filled a 16-ounce/pint jar almost to the top). Pop it in a jar or bottle, put it in the fridge and use it as you see fit. The website I got it from says one part syrup + three parts club soda (or sparkling water) makes a great instant (and fresh) ginger ale. Delicious. You can have it alone, but if you like you can just squeeze a little fresh lime juice and/and crush some mint in it and you’re on your way. DIY or Die! It’s a crisp, drier version of store-bought ginger ale. Probably cheaper too. Just keep the syrup in the fridge.

It definitely has a more “user friendly” taste than the fermented ginger beer. If you want to ease into making your own sodas, this would be the one to start with.

;

It’s not as dark as a store-bought ginger ale, but if you like more gingery flavor & add more syrup, it’ll get darker. And yes, you could use the ginger syrup/club soda mix in a Dark ‘n’ Stormy, too. And as an added plus, my mother informs me the ginger syrup is excellent in tea as well. Another plus? Ginger is soothing for stomach problems, and the fresher the better, so this syrup can act as a tummy soother if you’re nauseous or have other ailments of that sort. Which you just might on November 1st, after all that Halloween candy is eaten.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, guys. This storm is supposed to be a wicked one. Everyone else in Sandy’s path, be careful. And if you’re not in her path, be careful out there on Halloween. You never know who… or what… you’ll encounter. Even if it is dark, but not stormy. Bwahahahaha…

  16. ,“…responding to Reformed pastor John Piper’s claim that God decreed the tornadoes and targeted these specific communities and individuals for the destruction, injuries, and killings caused by the tornadoes.”Just a couple of days later, after being called out by commenters pointing out to Olsen that Piper did not say that, Olsen posted again and said,“True, in this particular blog [the one SBC Today links to] entry Piper does not explicitly say the tornadoes were God’s judgment on those towns.”The link here is misleading.

  28. · You and I and our little blog children have been through a lot together already—engagements and marriages, new jobs and abandoned ones. I was telling Tim last night that when I read your post on moving, I felt so hugely, weirdly happy for you and I was almost embarrassed. But you know, it’s because we’ve been in this together for four (!) almost years now, talking and listening and sharing our lives. And I love that, too.

  33. I scored 14, lol. I keep wanting to try moving to another country and love reading your blog for tips and ideas. Not brave enough to do it gung ho, but it will happen one day. For right now I am planning one trip over seas about every two years starting this year. Cannot wait, Europe here I come!

  35. Would be a much better show with a Harvey Pack appearance. Is he still alive ? Maybe harvey could have thrown out a few Oscar Barerra references.The ghost of ol’ Oscar is alive with MTB and nobody wants to talk about it. This horse had a top Beyer of 81 , couldn’t even win a New Mexico derby prep and then runs past horses like he was Secretariat. Even the owner has a shady connection with a sleazy Alaskan senator. The horse was juiced !

  36. sweeeeeet pictures girl. I feel the same way. I have thousands of pictures on my computer, I probably save 50+ a day. it upsets me to think I hardly consider the individual beauty of each one, but I take comfort in the fact that I will "appreciate them when I'm older" … I sound so maternal!

  46. Just finished watching The Motorcycle Diaries which is based on the journey of the Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara and his friend. Cinematography and the background score by Gustavo Santaolalla were excellent. The movie starts off as a road trip of two guys but shows how Guevara is affected by the poverty and the leprosy that he sees during the journey. Its more of a movie where the lead character reflects on a journey but nothing drastic happens from the audience point of view.

  48. Thanks for an unbelievable put up, would examine your others topics. i appreciate your ideas on this, I really felt a lttle bit strike by this text. Many thanks again! You make a great time. Portrays natures best by the excellent data here. I feel that in case a greater number considered it like that, they’d have a better moment in time get the grasp ofing the matter.

  62. Definitely break in those boots! I did the Camino Francés, and since I only had two weeks, I began somewhere between Astorga and León. In the end, I only walked 10 days because I got called in for work. Read those books, but when you go, just bring the maps with you (it’s all about the weight!)

  80. I think it would be wise to acknowledge that if, hypothetically, the net becomes unusable, it may not happen gradually. It may be immediate policy. You'll turn on the computer one day and realize "Bleep, I can't say anything on this machine anymore." So part of what we do now with our time is prepare ourselves for that. If you, like me, believe there's a possibility this could come to pass. There's a difference between being paranoid and being prepared for the worst. – RoR

  92. Another sad tale of injustice from America the twisted and deformed nation of democracy and freedom. Just like the NS Germany, the US (lack of) justice system has proved how unjust it is. With this kind of justice, it is no wonder that Leonard Peltier is still rotting in a prison for something he didn’t do.

  95. Merci à vous. Je suis allé lire l’article sur EducPros. Effectivement il y a une explication de Bernard Ramanantsoa. En revanche il n’y en a aucune sur le fait que les écoles de management en tête du classement sont celles de trois pays européens en difficulté, pour ne pas dire en déroute, Espagne, France et Royaume-Uni. Et que l’Allemagne qui ne fabrique guère ce genre d’animal savant, le manager, est en pleine forme économique. Ca mériterait bien une explication !

  100. Can I be honest?…I do think you’re blowing things out of proportion. Essentially it’s your issue and nobody elses. I’m sure they mean no disrespect. ….ok, perhaps I’ve overstepped, but I come from a long time of dealing with insecurities, and one day I finally realized that nothing was that big a deal in my life unless I made it so.

  106. Hi, Ash. That would be wonderful! I would very much like to see the outline. In the interest of openness since you are so willing to share, my name is Jenny, though I usually post under Rosa since there are several feministy blogs/boards that I post at where more anonymity is desired as they can get a little contentious. Thank you so much!

  109. Freeze time. Exactly. But then we also want them to grow and change and meet those milestones, right? Maybe this is what parenthood, or life, is all about? Simultaneously desiring pause and progress? What’s interesting is that I can sit here this morning – amid the Rowley morning mayhem – and feel okay, good even, about the fact that my biggest little girl is about to graduate. Isn’t it fascinating that at times we can be so vulnerable and at times so strong? Thx for the comment, Amanda!!

  115. Hello! I could have sworn I’ve visited this blog before but
    after going through many of the posts I realized it’s new to me.

    exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization.
    Do you know any ways to help protect against content from being ripped

    When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening

    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
    terrific blog!

  127. Gosh, I’m so sorry to read about your husband! I hope that all goes well and he will not be in the hospital for the Superbowl, but having been through breast cancer and chemo myself (quite a long time ago), you do what you have to do and stay positive. Thanks for the visit and I’ll be thinking positive thoughts for him too. It would probably help if you cheer for the Packers

    Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to

    they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail
    upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people
    can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks

  140. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  171. I know another thing guys like to do with an unsupported strop is tie it off to something (a towel rack, bedpost, etc). Personally I use a wood backed strop myself and think it’s well worth the investment. I’ll be getting an article on stropping up sometime soon. Thanks for reading and commenting CD!Dan

  184. The amount of energy taken to run all those HPS lights is highly inefficient. To run all those lights off solar would take hundreds of panels. All of that energy to get a few salad greens? There is nothing “green” or environmentally friendly about this setup.But it does look cool.?

  185. I really like your blog, and totally agree with your sentiment about the grading system for reviewing games, it happens in mobile gaming too, some of the best games are left unnoticed because they are not featured in the front page of the app store, and people base alot of their gaming choices today on what other people think.

  189. My grandfather built and operated the sixty room Bickerton Hotel at 102 Bubbling Well Road (1900-1925) in Shanghai, China. His name was Thomas Lacey Bickerton married Wilhelmina Paisley (Bickerton) We have many photographs of Shanghai. He was also involved in the Chinese Labour Corp (1915-1919). They moved to Tsingtao in 1926 living happily at Strand Beach. They were interned by the Japanese – POW camp from 1943 to 1945.I would like learn more on lives of those who resided in Shanghai and Tsingtao during that time. Thank you. Art Bickerton
