Mix up a Dark & Stormy to celebrate this month’s MxMo and the demon rum!

My rum selection is dwindling, but I return again to Trader Vic’s Bartender’s Guide, Revised, for something light and refreshing…and plentiful.

The name itself is subtly warning you: too many of these and you’ll be praying to the porcelain tiki god.

Sweet but full-flavored, tropical without too much Jimmy Buffett and all the colors of a Hawaiian sunset. Hello, springtime!

I’m very excited to be the host of this month’s Mixology Monday, which spotlights one of my favorite wintertime spirits: brandy.
