Stormy Snow Cones

Stormy Snow Cones

Okay, so technically not a snow cone – more of a delicious drink over crushed ice! However, we find that sometimes in these chillier months all we crave is an ice cold beverage, anyone else agree?! Maybe it’s just us! Well this weekend we decided to pamper ourselves, we had a wonderfully relaxing weekend and really enjoyed this slightly adapted Dark n Stormy based cocktail on Sunday. There is something so refreshing about combining mint, lime & ginger together – it almost feels like your doing something good for yourself at the same time! Add those refreshing ingredients to a glass of freshly crushed ice, some dark rum & some crabbies ginger beer and Bob’s your uncle! (If you are not familiar with this phrase – ask Allen, he loves to explain it now that he knows it in full!)

We hope you enjoy this cocktail, whether it is on a weekday or a weekend, we hope it refreshes you and wakes up your senses on these cold days that are headed our way!
