Wow, super wow. This is definitely an improvement on the previous post for a dark and stormy. This would remind me of the nights I spent partying in Jamaica, if I had ever been there, which I haven't.
Dark and Stormy and Perfect
1 oz flor de cana 4 year gold rum**
1/2 oz cruzan blackstrap rum
1/2 oz brown sugar syrup
juice from 1/2 a lime
2 dashes mole bitters
1 1/2 oz reed's jamaican ginger beer
fresh ginger juice to taste*
*ok ,unless you have a hardcore juicer, you can do what I did, which was to stew a shitload of ginger in a few cups of water, then freeze it into ice cubes. I am kinda nuts about freezing things in ice cube trays. It makes life so much easier. I keep coconut cream, chili puree, ginger juice, chicken stock, lime juice, pureed chipotles, etc etc as frozen cubes in containers.
**I usually use barbencourt 8 year, but this drink is so gingery, I couldn't detect a difference.

brown sugar in progress
I had looked around for a dark rum cocktail that skipped the usual limey fruitness and focused on the brown sugar and molasses flavors, but didn't find much. I made this up from what little cocktail knowledge I have absorbed thus far. This drink is in progress.... getting there, but needs more body. Stay tuned, and your input appreciated.
1.5 oz Barbencourt 8 Year dark rum
0.75 oz Carpano Antica
1 Tbsp brown sugar simple syrup
12 drops Bittermans Xocolatl Mole bitters
1 tsp Benedicitne
serve up
