Dark and Stormy

Pulled from the restless, tempest-tossed pages of my novel The Murdery Delicious High Seas Horror, this lurching libation may assuage the guilt-ridden glut of overly burdened bellies from the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Do enjoy!

The Murdery Delicious High Seas Horror, the sequel to The Murdery Delicious Hamwich Gumm Mystery is available on amazon and bn.com. Go to peterhalseysherwood.net for more info.

{As We Proceed...}

Dark and Stormy
(Serves one insomniac)
Ingredients
4 awful ounces of ginger beer
1 1/2 parts blackened, rheumy rum
Wedges from shriveled finger limes

Method
Avert your eyes as crashing rock fill a highball glass. Further flood with 1 1/2 ounces rum, and if you can bear it, rid the limes of their soulless juices and toss into the tempest.
