Captain's Blood

Dark rum is really an unusual substance. It tastes exotic, mysterious, and, well, dark.

This is a great drink for it. And a great name. Sounds spooky. Or piratey. Just as a good rum drink should.

It's a fairly strong drink, but flavorful. It goes with the dark, rainy day today was pretty well.

Recipe:
1.5 oz dark rum (Gosling's)
.25 oz lime juice
.25 oz simple syrup
2 dashes bitters

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a spiral of lemon.
