A Perfect Storm

With tropical storms hitting and hurricane season in full swing, many of us will be stuck inside this rainy weekend. What better way to liven up the evening then mixing up a few cocktails with enjoyable company? This weekend's cocktail is appropriately named The Perfect Storm and is a tasty mojito-like beverage with a gingery twist. Go ahead and find someplace to gather indoors, start muddling those mint leaves and pouring these libations generously. Cheers!

Muddle 5 mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice.
Add 1 ¼ ounces rum
¾ ounce ginger liqueur (Domaine de Canton preferred)
¾ ounce lime juice
½ ounce simple syrup.
Shake vigorously & strain into a cocktail glass
Top off with 1 ounce ginger beer. Garnish with a mint leaf.
