DRINK RECIPE: Dark & Stormy Remixed

So I stopped by the local farm a few weeks ago to see what they had in season. I grabbed some blueberries and thought about what I could make that would give their tartness proper justice. With the hurricane season approaching, a mashup of the classic Dark & Stormy seemed appropriate. Check the ingredients but don’t overdose. The cocktails I concoct are meant to sipped not inhaled.

The Input

1 1/2 ounces of Dry Fly Washington Wheat Whiskey
1/2 ounce of Gran Marnier or more to taste
1/2 bottle of ginger beer (I prefer Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew)
1 lemon
1 tablespoon of local honey

2. Add the whiskey and Gran Marnier and gently stir.
3. Next fill the rest of the glass with ginger beer.
4. Add ice and serve.
